Default Must have Thread colours to have on hand for Quilters

I probably am asking a silly question, but here goes.

I started my journey in Quilting a few months ago. As I really never did any sewing in nearly 70 years of life, I am in a long learning curve.

One things I wish to know is just what are the must have colours of thread to have on hand. Right now I have black, white, gray, stone, and silver.

I was wondering if I should get colours like red, blue, yellow, green, etc. I've seen some pictures of some quilters work rooms, and they have a myriad of colours. I don't plan on doing any fancy free motion quilting. I tried that today, and it was a disaster. I just don't have the skill with the machine to control both the speed of the machine, and motion needed with the hands. I also doubt I will be doing embroidery, or any other thing that requires me to control both of those actions

I am basically purchasing all my supplies from "Connecting Threads". I like their service. They have quite a few thread colour sets listed, but not sure they are something I should look into.

Hopefully someone can provide a basic list of colours that a person like myself should have on hand.
