Default What possible color can I use for the quilting?

My daughter picked out the wild fabrics in the quilt. They were in a (extremely poorly cut) jelly roll she picked up somewhere. This is the pattern of quilt she wanted, so I made it for her. The fabrics are all herringbone type patterns, ranging from white on white to lime green, bright yellow, purple, pinks, and grays. I have absolutely no idea what color of thread to use for the quilting! I plan on doing a FMQ nested paisley-style design to soften the angularity.

Suggestions? It seems like a cream or beige or light gray would be a cop-out. The backing and binding will be a dark charcoal gray small print (to give a border to all those colors!).
