The depression block is intended to have high contrast so I definitely wouldn't use black as the "light" color. Even the light blue and purple would probably lessen the power of the block greatly, melting away the impact of the contrast.
The choice between white and tan would depend on the feeling you want the quilt to convey. White would give a sharp, this-is-it, almost black/white impression, while a tan/cream would ellicit a softer, more hopeful if you will, response.
