Depending on your batting the back color can shadow through to the top and your white may not look white anymore. You may want to audition your white and batting over whatever you choose. Remember quilting pulls the layers closer together and it may show more along the line of quilting.

It depends on what the quilt is telling you! Is it tradtional, modern, whimmmmmsical, etc? A b&W would be fun with cows on the back or multi colored hearts for a loved one. for a living room pull out a coordinating color. The ideas are endless, just go hunting for your perfect fit! you WILL know it when you see it! Post a picture when you do. love to see it!
