We started switching over several years ago and except for some very minor differences, I'd say 90% of our threads were matched in Madeira colors with no problem. If you have a choice between a slightly 'darker' color or slightly 'lighter' color to make a match, go with the lighter color and your customer may never know. Brighter shade makes it look clean and vibrant-darker shade makes it look older even right off the machine.
