    Black, or black with very small polka dots of red or white.

    Perhaps a grey or grey tone on tone might work. I did an Alabama Table topper which is red and white and I put a medium/dark grey (with a black marble print scattered throughout it) as a trim piece. It turned out great.

    I automatically thought blue... either a tone on tone or a floral.

    I would probably choose a bright yellow because I like happy quilts.

    Another shade of red....
    Keep it in the red family for color harmony.
    White might be OK?

    I'd probably go towards a light brown or tan set set off both colors & make them stand out.
