I think you have to ask yourself: will you really like it when it's done. What one person loves, another may not be satisfied with at all.
I agree with jillaine and with you. (That also applies to my tendency of swimming against the current.) I think you should select a color from the awesome base fabric and then find a brighter version of this colour.
This is just the opinion of a newbie to quilting.
