Color scheme advice please!

I've been asked to stitch an icon for my church (I'm Ukrainian Catholic, so icons are an integral part of the religion, and there is a tradition of stitched rather than painted icons from the time of Soviet rule, when it was illegal to worship). I have a gorgeous pattern of the Holy Family, drawn by a Ukrainian priest who did a whole set of icon patterns after the fall of Communism, to preserve the craft.
( Pattern, materials, and question here )
I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
