Hi Casey.. If you are using NCP thread you are probably OK. If you are using Plain or raw thread and didnt use a color preserver then it will probably stay dark.

Casey, if its not NCP it'll probablly stay dark. When it drys take it out side in the sunlight. #245 with no preserver is a great look.

If you want thread to stay the same color as on the spool, you need to use Color Preserver. Just curious what size/type rod are you using D thread on??
