Choosing Copper in a palette

This mid-value digital swatch can sit between highlights and shadows. Compare it beside both neighbors, especially in small details. 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.
