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!

Hi.
There are a lot of variables that can cause this.
It sounds like you chose "I will choose my colors" so it should only choose those colors. I think Herrschners Worsted has 57 colors and is a bit limited.
Another thing that causes stray colors is if the original image is a .jpg. It would be best to send it a very small .gif image with limited colors.
You may also want to try turning on Antialias in section 8. Also adjusting brightness and contrast might help.
These are some ideas that come to mind.
In December I'll be working on a new version that includes the ability to fine-tune the pattern manually before printing it out. I'm not sure yet whether this new version will be available yet then but I'm doing testing on it now.

How can I view the stitchboard color palette in order to match my colors?
Hi. Thanks for the input. I'm just finishing up a project hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday and then will send you an email. You can reply to that and attach an image. I'll give more info in the email.

Gloshei,
You're so welcome!
Yes, you're
correct, a pixel will be equal to a bead in a pattern. 
Feel free to
try making all of the patterns you'd like! Of course we want you to
make a pattern that you'll like, not get stuck with something you
don't, so experiment all you wish.
beadsNbooks,
You're so
welcome!
Yes, you're correct! The full
palette is just a guideline for choosing colors, but there's no
official yarn or bead palette that specifically matches it.
The full
palette is better suited for areas where there are more colors
available, such as with cross stitch.
Hope
that helps!
