I agree with the peachy color. I would also try and find one that has a little pattern to it since you already have two marble prints.

I go with the peachy color too. And I prefer "light" backgrounds with "dark" borders, but of course it is each individual's choice. I love the colors you chose.

My advise also. The peachy/salmon would make the whole thing pop!

I think the fabrics are perfect. Teal, dark teal and light teal are my most favorite colors and I believe that is a coral in there(?). That is the colors in our bedroom. Beautiful. I think the colors together are very soothing and if you put in a white or off white it'll be too stark. I love it just the way you have it. Edie

I see some peach or pink in the paisley fabric. I would use this color as a contrast to the others.

If you're going to do the 4 color then I agree with a cream. If you use the peachy/orange color, its going to become the focus color I'm afraid, unless its just a tint.

I think the Orange or the Peachy, to me it looks orange. Is it more orange or peach? just curious? It think it it quite pretty!
Anyways, I think it would really make your quilt pop. I also would suggest maybe doing a search on here and checking out the different backgrounds choice that were used, depending on which way you choose, to me would depend on which way you choose to make the background. Hope that made since.
Beautiful fabrics!
