I am happy with my decision to use black thread throughout the design and a red gimp (thicker thread). Having the red go beyond the gimp looked messy to me. You can see a photo where I tried this technique here. To use a worker pair of a different color for the trail, I would need to account for that in the design and keep all sides of the trail within the gimp.
