I have at least100 spools of thread. I need to have easy access and also need to be able to see the color without removing every spool from my box.

Put thin floating shelves like the nail salon so you can see the colors and decorate the wall at the same time.
Here's an easy method I'm planning on trying:

There are inexpensive spool holders you can purchase where crafts or sewing notions are sold. You can also make one with a board and pegs or a stair step of holders like in the picture. To purchase your own averages around $15. This small one holds 100 spools, but they come in many sizes. This is a small one.
Some of these may be repeats but just in case:

I like this one because you can put it vertically. If the rods are too big you could probably put smaller, metal threaded rods, or big long nails.

I took an old cabinet door and hammered in a long finishing nail at an angle every 1 1/2". I hung it on the wall over my sewing table. The spools stay on and they're easy to see and grab. You could just use a piece of plywood or 1" lumber in place of the door.
