I just searched for Double Wedding Ring quilts, and put the word dark with it. I saw some wonderful ones and I noted that you might try a deep cream or a light beige. That could be striking. Be sure to make a test block to see if you like it.

The two DWR quilts I have that my my Grandmother made in the 1930's have the unbleached muslin. So I'd have to say I am partial to the off white, creams, ivory...
Whatever you make will be wonderful, the DWR is just classic!!

I'm sending the link of a navy blue background DWR. She lists her fabric in the article.

I always consider fading when I use darks, especially blue. Just a thought.
