What color will make blue dreams look their best in? If I do black would the shrimp turn dark blue? or will I have trouble finding them? If white? will the shrimp fee they stand out and turn pale?

I have some on black eco complete. They are hard to see on the substrate, but really pop on the green plants. The babies disappear unles they free swim, or go up on a really green plant or the glass. When I first put them in the tank they vanished for a couple weeks. Wasn't until they felt comfortable that they started move around to the more visible parts of the tank.. was a pretty stressful couple of weeks :)
