Default Use the dark or light for binding?

I like all three but think the dark would make a nice "framing" to it.

This is only a portion of the quilt--it measures around 68x78.

Thanks.
We learned at guild that binding is a little better if you use the dark fabric. This speaker said that our eye knows that the quilted piece has ended more easily. She stressed this more on wall hangings than on quilt.

I love your quilt!!
