The green and gold can look nice. That's what I used on my first kit from Cabela's. But keep in mind that you can get another spool of thread for only a dollar or 2 (probably locally) and pick anything you like. I tend to use 3 colors primarily anymore. Gudebrod Cobalt blue, Gudebrod Garnet, and Sulky metallic pine green (not sure on the exact color name). I like the Sulky metallics better than the Gudebrod because they don't have the nylon core and tie up a bit cleaner IMO. Sulky metallic can be found in most sewing stores. The Garnet and Cobalt are gorgeous once the finish is applied. I don't have any current pictures of the garnet, but here is the blue and green.
