I like scrappy backgrounds best. I rarely ever use white unless it’s just a little sprinkled in with lots of cream, tan, and beige. I like scrappy backgrounds best.

The ecru looks too monochromatic. Personally, I use a lot of white for the background but I'm guessing it's because I love brights and brights go better with white backgrounds. I like the white.

As to what I use more of for backgrounds, I use cream on occasion and white only very rarely, but more often I use either tan, or lightish gray, or light blue or green. I'm not a huge fan of white, mostly, or of cream either. However, I've just finished one quilt top that has cream sashing, and I'm working on a guild BOM that I'm using Kona snow on. It depends on the fabric, but I tend to prefer color in my backgrounds. Similarly, there's not one white wall in my house -- they're blue, or green, or teal, or turquoise, or terracotta. I hate, hate, hate white walls! Just me. First, I agree with everyone else here that with those yellows, you need the white instead of the ecru.
