Default Thread color for Halloween quilt

OK, any of you who have made a Halloween quilt, what color did you quilt with? It is a simple pattern really, 9 patch of mixed Halloween prints, and every other row has a solid square between 9 patch squares. The solids are orange, lime green, purple and black. This is only my second quilt and will be my first one I quilt myself. Appreciate your help!
