Just wondering what thread colour y'all would suggest. I'm putting together a 7136-4 spey conversion using Fuji Titanium Sic's and Struble Nickel Silver skeleton seat with a sweet piece of blue died Big Leaf Maple burl. Should I go with the factory colour? Something closer to the wood? What you guys think?
What is the factory colour?

I think somebody here mentioned that the factory thread color was Gudebrod 340 goldmetal without CP.

I have no idea if this is correct or not. Sometimes the commercial rod makers will have thread dyed to their specs for a specific color.

I just built a Z-axis 5wt using 6779 Medium Green (no CP) with a touch of gold trim. Nice.

Dave,
I'm partial to the REC proportions and nickel alloy compared to the Struble nickel seats, at least for 5Wts and above.

I used to outwrap for Sage and if they haven't changed colors they were;

Main wrap Gudebrode #340 gold size A.
Trim wraps Gudebrode #001black, # 9000 gold and #257 rust in size A.

you have some nice colors on that seat insert. I would use some combo of them
