Color PaletteYou can use a color palette for DMC-like threads. The Pro version has DMC / Cosmo / Olympus / Anchor.
(Note: These color palette are my original adjusted colors. It might be a little different from the actual colors, depends on environment (e.g. display, lighting), and is intended to be used as a guide.)

Also, you can check how much stitches each stitch has.
