Suggestions Before I Watercolor

I have a general color scheme in mind for this. Black, pale yellows, reds, maybe a but of green for the flower leaves. But I'm kind of at a loss on what colors to put in the background. Any suggestions are appreciated.

If you're using black, pale yellows, and reds, a deep purple or blue might look nice.

N.B. I'm not an art person so this might be a terrible suggestion! I just really like your line art & wanted to comment. ^^;

I'd say light, pastel blues and negative space. Maybe some pinks and pale purples to evoke the morning sun and tie into the foreground colors.

Also, it's not fair that you can draw that good and watercolor.

Beautiful work!!!

I'm shit with color schemes, so I can't be much help there.
