Color Palette
You can use color palettes for DMC-like threads. The Pro version includes DMC, Cosmo, Olympus, and Anchor palettes.
(Note: These palettes use my original adjusted colors. They may differ slightly from the actual colors depending on your environment, such as display and lighting, and are intended as a guide.)

You can also check how many stitches use each color.
