The human eye can distinguish between approximately 10 million different colors, so narrowing those down to a mere 482 has to come with compromises. Thread colors are limitedĮven though there are as many as 482 shades in DMC’s six strand embroidery floss line of solid colors, I’m the first person to wish there were more! While the converter does an excellent job at finding the closest match to any color in a photo, there are cases where it can’t produce an exact match, because there simply isn’t a thread manufactured in that color. Photos taken in dark spaces, blurry or low-resolution images can only produce sub-par results. For the best results, you need to team up with the algorithm and supply it with an image that accurately shows the colors of your subject. The Converter can not recognize or warn you if the image you uploaded is not optimal. Instead of trying to imagine how certain colors would look together, why not go out (either virtually or physically) and collect some photos that convey the feeling you want to ‘transfer’ to your embroidery.Īnd my Photo to Palette converter will take it from there!
