is there a way to see the total stitches per color?

I use stitchboard quite often, but I don't use the pattern that is generated, I just use it to go by then I create a duplicate manually through spreadsheets so that I can put in numbers so that I don't have to count every single stitch.  This will take me hours to days to do depending on the dificulty of the pattern, some patterns I can create completely from just looking at a picture, but when too dificult I turn to stitchboard to somewhat simplify it for me.  I was wondering if there is a feature that adds the number of stitches per color? Here is an example of a pattern i started for my craft business name. Right now you see duplicate numbers  in one color because I'm in the image creating process, once I have the image all made up (manually) I go through and number all the stitches per color on every row of stitches.  It's a long process, but once I start on a project I don't have to waste time counting stitches over and over again.  Fortunately I don't have to type every number with spreadsheet you can drag through the cells and will number for you, but sometime I will turn to graph paper and hand write the pattern.  I do not print my patterns, because I am hard at seeing and I find using the computer also helps me keep track of what row and what stitches I have done already by highlighting the stitches already done.
