I just started doing FMQ on a panel of fabric this morning. The fabric is darker colors, browns, tans, rose, wine colors, black edging around each square, medium greens, purple, dark orange. I used white thread for the quilting and it completely takes away from the fabric! There are 20 squares and I'll have to rip out 3 so I didn't get that far.
What would be a good color thread to use? It's a wall hanging with a muslin back. Would black be good or bad?

I agree with ArtsyOne. Invisible thread is the way to go. Find some in the smokey gray color and it will disappear. Use regular thread in the bobbin for the back however. Learned that the hard way. . . . .
