Default What color for the center of a Log Cabin if I am using purple?

I am considering making a log cabin quilt, using various shades of purple on one side and shades of either white or cream on the other of each block. But I am puzzling over what color to use in the center.

Yellow? Pink? Deep purple? I really haven't made a log cabin except for one block years ago as part of a guild project. I sort of remember that red is often the center color, but surely not with purple?

Does anyone have any suggestion for me? I googled purple log cabin quilts, but that didn't seem to help too much. The few I found had either a light purple or a dark purple as the center. It looked good, but that may not be what I want this time. I do a lot of quilts in shades of purple and white. I think I want to switch it up a bit...not enough to not do purple though.

Thanks for thinking with me.
