Default Most popular Aurifil thread colors

I have a chance to buy some Aurifil 50 wt thread and want to use it for piecing. What are the names of the colors yall use to blend in with your quilting, if you don't mind me asking? So many to choose from LOL Toni

I don't use Aurifil but any neutral would be great. I like a light grey.

If your machine gives you a perfect balanced stitch you can use any color thread for piecing. I use bright red Aurifil a lot because I have 48 spools of it. LOL

I use light gray, light tan, and white all the time.

I use whale, a light gray. #2610. Any of the neutrals, like the quilters' basics mentioned above, would work fine.

I use the color "celery". It blends very well.

I find Aurifil 2310 & 2311 blend very well for me. Both are light beige - 2311 being the lighter.

I used to use what I call stark white, but got away from that and now use deep cream, or a soft grey. I like Coats and Clarks, or Connecting Threads. (boy do they have lots of colors!)
