Color advice please?
I am making a black and white quilt for a gift for a brother-in-law and SIL. I haven't been in their house in several years, (we have moved out of state) so I don't know their color scheme. I want to add a bit of one color to it, but I am not sure what color to add. I am afraid red or yellow or anything bright colored or neon colored would be too bright!
What color would you recommend to use to lightly and tastefully spice up a black and white quilt?

OTE]ASK what their colors are, dont put all your time, talent and money into something they may not like...if you really dont want to ask, then you might go with tan it is still neutral

ugh I would ask like so.. what colors are you tossing around that couch these days.. casual like.. was thinking of making a couple throw pillows.... and then you get the color they might like to add.. a pop. I always think red goes marvelous with black and white and you need just a tiny pop even a thin 1/2 strip border around the outside edge.. it will pop like crazy. blue also if you think they prefer cold colors . I would never put beige with it but that is just me. I know you will be happiest if you ask .. tell them your making a table runner! small little thing.. they wont guess.

I am working on a French Braid quilt using black, white, gray with a pop of red and it is very pretty. Gray is a safe choice and will look very nice. Red stands out so beautifully but you would be taking a chance. Is there another family member you know that has been to their house that you could ask?
