Ok, I am curious.

I use gray thread for piecing my darks and mediums and ivory for my lights
and whites.

What does everyone else do for the thread colour in piecing?

I do this because:
A) I think they blend in well and I don't have to change thread often when
piecing and
B) it is WAY cheaper for me <because I must be frugal> to use only the two
colours instead of trying to buy a bazillion different thread colours for
simply piecing.

Pretty much like you, KK, except that I do routinely use two greys: one
medium and one dark. I also use two beiges for the red/yellow/green
side of the spectrum - but that is probably not necessary.

I have what looks like zillions of thread colours because I dressmake.
I dig in the box of cottons and silks for the closest colour I have to
the dominant colour in the block and use that. Otherwise it's
unbleached for me - I always have plenty of that! Economical? Yes! it
uses up the remnants of thread from paid projects!
