Thread Color Recommendations for Shikari SHX Blank

I am in the process of planning my first rod. I have pretty much settled on the Shikari SHX PSJ600 blank. Since I have never done this before I have no idea what the actual color of this blank is. I would like to be able to order a few colors of thread at the same time that I order the blank. For those that have experience with this blank series what have you used and what looks nice (pics would be really great). I think that I am going with black guides but I could be swayed away from those also.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a 7'0" SHX in my shop room; it's just a regular black color. The SHXi is black with some very tiny, fine silver metal flake in it.

I put black thread and black guides on a black rod, and then my rod looked brown. Levi

Thanks for the help guys. The pics were exactly what I needed. Have to agree now that just about anything will look decent on this blank.
