One of the things I like about going to a quilt show or to a quilt class is to see how different quilters interpret a quilt pattern with different colours. Here's a couple examples from the recent Festival of Quilts at Heritage Park in Calgary:

Florals with Black Paths |
Here in this floral quilt, the multi-coloured flowers blend together and the black paths stand out.

Pastel ladders |
The clean, clear white background on this pastel version makes the ladders stand out.

A modern pattern done in blue, yellow and gray |
This great pattern has lots of movement, both from the blocks and the secondary pattern when those blocks are joined together.

Traditional colours, modern pattern |
Again, a totally different look to this quilt with different colour choices!

I saw those quilts too! Inside one of the tents they had several quilts displayed side by side that were the same pattern, but different colors. Did you see those?
