This is a dark digital swatch. Try it for outlines or deep shadows, then check that small dark areas remain distinct. Keep the original chart’s light-to-dark relationships when swapping colors.
For a complete list use the DMC cross stitch chart. Use the color matcher for an image or hex value and the substitution tool to exclude threads you cannot obtain.
