I think this is a great idea. The grunge black would give you black without being plain black and I think that would work well. I don't like the idea of using one of the colors in the blocks unless its a being or black. If you get too much color in the setting squares I'm afraid it would detract from the blocks themselves. They might even get lost in all the color.
