Re: Color Quantization (Color to DMC Thread)
Too bad we can't just make up color swatch cards for cheap, so people can decide what they want to use color-wise. Doesn't DMC have a pretty complete one for about $20? Not sure :/

Re: Color Quantization (Color to DMC Thread)
Unfortunately, I think DMC only sells their printed colour card now. It is really great but it isn't 100% accurate. I still have to edit my thread selection here and there once I get to the store and see the colours in person. I think you were right when you mentioned that dye lots could be a significant factor. If somebody made a program right now that is somehow completely accurate to the current threads you could find in the store, it is still possible that a year or two from now some of the colours will look a bit off.
