I'd like to throw something open for discussion -- how can you deal with getting your screen colours to match the actual floss colours more closely? When I import pictures, the colours the program chooses need a lot of adjusting. Is there some way to tweak the colour adjustments, either within the program or in your computer settings, to more accurately represent the true floss colours?

That's an interesting question, everyone's eyes are different. For those who are interested, here's a neat link:

http://www.colorschemer.com/colorpix_info.php

It's a color schemer you can download, and it tells you what color your mouse pointer is at, and the values. I also have a list of the rgb values of dmc colors

Thanks Mark. I guess I'll just keep fiddling with my colours!

We tweek our color matching algorithms all the time, and haven't been able to get much better than what we have. The biggest problem is that the eye perceives some color changes as more pronounced that the math does.

Just my uneducated guess, but I think it's not possible. Human eye sees the colour differently than software who doesn't actually see it, but creates the colour based on given values.
