Question Quilting Question about Thread Color and Background Fabric

I am in the process of FMQ a wall hanging. There are only two colors on the top, White (background) and a Teal/Blue/Purple Batik. The backing fabric is a deep Royal Blue. My question is what color of thread would you use to quilt in the white background? The color of thread that I am using on the batik is the same as what I am using on the back. It is a variegated thread that includes the colors from the Batik fabric. Because of the design of the top, I do not want to use this on the White background fabric.

Would you stay with the variegated color on the back and use white on the front? When doing this, I am afraid that either one or the other would show up on the side it is not suppose to, if you understand what I am getting at.

Would love to hear what you wonderful people on this board would suggest doing in this situation.

Thanks
