    The green is not the right shade, the other two will work. So will the other colors I've inserted.

    I think black or Chocolate brown would make the colors pop. How about a different green.

    I vote for black.....You could make it look more like an Amish quilt. It would be beautiful!

    The green's a wee bit wild for me. I think the deep purple or green in the strip would really give it richer look.

    try a silver/gray instead of the cream. might add the punch. I'd also make one of the colors a tonel and not just solid with the stripe. It would give the deminsion that the stripe is trying to convey. Just a thought.

    Not sure of what pattern you are planning to use. But the fabrics seem to have the same value. The tan will work as it is lighter but I think you need to also have something darker.
