Same here. :) This thread is amazing and I don't usually try to match the colors, although you can buy nice color assortments of Bottom Line pre-wound on bobbins at reasonable prices.
I usually use Silver, Grey, Cream or Taupe - those four colors blend in with just about anything. Light and dark warm and light and dark cool.
I have six or eight different thread brands I've tried for applique and this is my absolute favorite over YLI Silk, Masterpiece cotton and several other high quality threads - the Bottom Line handles like a dream compared to silk and is much slower to fray than any of the cottons. :)
