    Yet another vote for grey, the fabrics look so much better on it rather than the white.

    I would go with the gray, all blend together. I personally think the white is stark next to the other beautiful colors.

    I vote for the gray. While the white indeed makes the yellow fabrics pop, the gray seems to become a soothing element which allows the yellows to speak rather than shout. If you think too much gray might be a problem, then use white corner blocks to break up the horizontal and vertical lines. After that, use a narrow white border and a wider gray border to frame your finished masterpiece.

    looks like gray is unanimous... Usually I prefer white, but in this instance gray compliments your fabrics best.
