What colour thread to stitch through quilt?

Well aware I'm probably committing many quilting sins but I'm new to this. Have basically pieced together a quilt but don't know what colour edging (blue - dark, bright?) to look for. Nor which colour thread to use or how to stitch through the quilt once the batting is on as it will be too obvious whatever colour! What do you think I should go for?
Back will be a large panel of the blue dragons surrounded by the same star clouds as on the front.

I’d use the same fabric as the border ( with the castle) for the binding and a variegated thread for the quilting.

Agree re variegated thread for the quilting. I'd choose a plain colour for binding, but that's just my personal taste. A dark blue.

Ooo, I've never heard of variegated thread before! Thank you for the tip, I shall see what I can find.
