Ditto. I hardly ever use white thread - too stark for me. I use beige or gray and use up what is in the bobbin - not caring too much about matching colors. I try to match the weight though.
I use the threads from Connecting Threads, Star threads, Guetermann, even Coats and Clark. I am not too concerned even about using a blended thread for cotton fabric. (Some people are picky that way)
