I recently purchased a design collection disc from Dakota
Collectibles.
Upon reviewing the design colors, I find that the color names Dakota
specifies (i.e. Dk. Dk. Rust, Blue4, Lt. Green2, etc.) do not
correspond with any of the brands of embroidery threads we currently
have. I checked Dakota's site, and find no color conversion charts or
any other way of reconciling their color names. Can anyone help? Are
they using color names from some particular company? Since these are
licensed designs, I want to use the exact correct colors.

Thanks,

Doc

Thanks Jennifer! I was looking on their Home Embroidery site instead
of the main (commercial?) site (who knew?) :-)

I don't get what difference it makes if they are licensed or not. Using
your own color choices is what makes embroidery fun.

But using the designer's color choices are what makes it
(the design)authentic.
