Now that you can see the quilt, you'll be able to choose your neutrals with some understanding. I believe the reason Bonnie specified to stick to lighter neutrals is because in clue #1 it's important for the neutral to contrast with the gray, and in clue #3, it's important for the neutral to contrast with the gold. I don't think having lighter neutrals is as important in clue #2 or clue #4, where they are next to red and black, and maybe the same with the big neutral pieces in the border. In Bonnie's introduction to the quilt (which you can find by clicking on the 'Allietare' tab at the top of her blog), you can see some of Bonnie's neutrals and read what she has to say about it.
