As always with the Dimensions kits, the thread is in their organizer, and the photo is charted like a counted cross stitch, so you always know exactly which color is which.  This is particularly useful with this, between pale grey, bluish pale gray, grayish pale blue.  Just go by the numbers and your set.  It has some tips on keeping things loose (no distorting the fabric) and excellent directions for basketweave and backstitch, along with the traditional Continental stitch.
