What I'd like to see in embroidery is the following:

Either preset tracery pattern with prechosen colors for the individual items, or a way to choose a primary, secondary and tertiarary etc color for a pattern.

For example: This is what you see when you look at the completed moon mage pattern. Six towers on a field of stars encircle the three Elanthian moons.

There are obviously more than three colors on this pattern by inference, stars can be white or silver, the six towers can be a brick red color, the three moons are usually katamba - dark grey, yavash - red, xibar - blue.

Say I choose silver for the stars, that means I can't use white for stars and vice versa.

What I'd like to see when you look at the item you're embroidering is this: You need # of stitches in silver, you need # of stitches in brick red, you need # of stitches in dark grey, etc until the whole pattern is laid out.

As you stitch in the color you're using you would see You need #-n of stitches in silver, etc.

When the embroidery is complete you see: Six towers on a field of stars encircle the three Elanthian moons.

And account LEGERES: good idea too!
