Thinking a Centropyge would eventually get too big. Although if you got a small enough one you could probably get 6-12 months before you had to consider rehoming him.
A yellow assessor is an awesome fish, very colourful (especially if you get the smaller australian variant) and about as friendly as it gets.
Just make sure you have an overhang with some good flow under it because that is where this fish will stay.

I would also put a blue assessor on here, even though it doesn't match your colour schematic but man o man, what an unbelievably eye catching fish...
Would really be a showpiece in the tank described.

Both varieties of assessors (which I believe are considered basslets) are as unaggressive as you could hope for.

I suppose that also, if you're tank is nicely established or you have a 'fuge of one variety or another(or want to spend the money on bottled pods) a red psychedelic mandarin would fit your hopes for colour and passiveness well.
