Thread color match to Stella SW gold color

Hello - Looking for threads to match the brassy gold color used on Shimano Stella 10000 SW spinning reels. I saw on another message board that Sulky Sliver Metallic 8005 is a close match, but I am interested in a more traditional metallic thread rather than the flat metallized film. I appreciate any thoughts!

Maybe a silly question - but I should also ask if the Sulky 7005 thread is the same color as the 8005?

The Sulky is also available in thread, as opposed to the flat. Bill Batson turned me on to using two threads together, gold and silver, to come up with what looks like a champagne gold. I use Sulky 7004 and 7009.The 7009 is actually Pewter, not silver, but the combo is a great color. As to the colors, I think the 8000 series is the flat and 7000 is thread. Colors should be the same.
