Mine were clear with a red top, so I guess I am lucky that I can see mine.
If you are wanting to store your bobbins in a drawer, cut thin strips of wood, to create a trough for your bobbins to stand on edge, so you can see the colour of thread. BEcause I do not have a full row, I put a bobbin sits in flat and up tight to prevent the standing ones from falling over.
