New! Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft and Herrschners 2-Ply Afghan palettes - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Neave,
Absolutely!
We actually think things
through, rather than going for the quickest, most violent solution
(like war).
I just changed the default color palette to "Stitchboard Basic" for both crochet and knitting.
The basic palette has only 35 colors so the graphs will have far fewer and more standard colors. You can always change to other color palettes in section 5.
Terry
Cookie,
I'm not sure where the names came from, and as far as the colors that aren't found, they've been discontinued, as DMC "cleans house" with colors here and there, bringing out new ones.
According to DMC, the correct names for the colors that still exist and what you've listed are:
326 V DK Rose
407 DK Desert Sand
415 Pearl Gray
420 DK Hazelnut Brown
As for which ones go from light to dark, I haven't seen any definitions beyond color names; DMC doesn't have any kind of list I've ever found defining colors from light to dark. So I don't really know the answer to which colors are lighter and which are darker; you may have to simply eyeball it and pick the ones you think look lighter and darker. Since you do have both brown-gray and silver-gray represented, they may be very close in shading and more a matter of opinion than an exact measurement of light/dark coloring.
Meanwhile, I'll have Terry (Support) remove those colors you mentioned that have been discontinued.
If you're logged in, you'll see step #7, which are the output settings. One of the settings is "Pattern or Word Chart."

Secoya,
They're all gorgeous!
But I'm a big fan of purple, so this
one looks especially nice to me. And what is that...hmm...getting
hungry...I want purple cupcakes!
