back in the day when women actually wore hose and coordinated them to the outfit or the shoes I was told that taupe goes with anything & it did. It actually has a sort of grey cast (to my eyes, anyway) I would follow the recommendations of the others who recommended a neutral - even if it doesn't look like it works, sometimes after actually using it, it will work

It's really really hard to line up a top and bottom exactly.

FYI, I found a light grey thread that will work. Y'all are the best!

I would avoid Stitch in the Ditch - because as careful as one is in lining up - one will probably be a little bit off - and then the stitching would be 'on' on one side and 'off' on the other .
