Default What color thread for the back of this quilt??

I am ready to start FMQ on my DSM, I have the quilt sprayed and pinned, I have never had real good luck with using a different color thread in the bobbin then the top thread, it seems like I get little dots of the darker thread coming through to the top. I am not sure if this is fixable or not..

My question is, the back of this quilt is a solid dark blue and the front is a white background with blue stars. What color would you use to quilt this quilt. would you use a dark blue for the bobbin to match the backing fabric and white for the top? I am not the best FM quilter and I think if I used white for the back it would show up all of my mistakes, and I am sure there will be a lot..The same goes for the top if I used blue for the top it would show up all my mistakes too and I don't think the blue would look good on the front of this quilt. + I have to think about the little blue dots showing up on the front using white thread on the front and blue on tie back

Anyone have thoughts on colors of threads to use, I would love to hear from you, Thanks
