Default Thread Color Opinions Needed

I'm making some quilted stockings and I've been using Sulky varigated thread. I'm now working on another stocking that I've used some white fabric in and I'm wondering if I should continue to use the varigated thread or use a solid white. Here is a photo of the completed stockings, a close up of the quilting, and a picture of the white fabric with a piece of varigated thread across it to give an idea of what it would look like.

I like the verigated thread.

I personally think using the pricier variegated thread is a waste on this project since the visual difference is so minimal. I personally would use the white and save the variegated for where it is noticeable.

What I normally do to test a thread is to put about a yard to the thread in a squiggle pattern onto the fabric to be used. I like the variegated thread on the color fabric but don't think it will look as nice on white.

I think it would look great with the variegated. Go ahead.
