He should be an actor - from what I read, a lot of movie stars share
that trait. It seems to come across on film better than a regular size
head or something...

Michelle,
You don't have to match the threads unless they show on the outside! And
even then they don't have to match.
When I got my serger, this group advised getting 4 each of basic colours
that I used a lot, and then odd cones of different colours. I now have a
stash of about 40 cones - 4 white, 4 black, 2 navy, 2 grey and lots of
odd colours - about 6 different blues, reds, greens etc.. When I get the
next project out to do, I pick the 4 closest matching cones. Put the
closest match in the left needle, and the 2nd closest match in the lower
looper. The other 2 threads really don't matter.

I rarely even change threads any more at all. One serger is set up for
white thread, and the other is set up for black, so I just go between
them. Back when my girls were little and I did a lot of holiday sewing,
I would switch from white and black to green and red, and I may do that
again, now that I have a little grandson!
