[CHAT] Anyone else tried to figure out a smooth greyscale range with DMC?

I’ve spent the last couple of days trying to create a DMC greyscale range for an upcoming project, and was surprised how hard it was - turns out some are warm toned, some are cool, some look more brown…. I sat on the floor in the craft store, did practice stitching, and stared at the colours in different lights, but this is what I ended up with.

310 - 3799 - 413 - 535 - 317 - 04 - 414 - 318 - 03 - 415 - 168 - 02 - 01 - 762 - 3865

Now I need to go and track down some 28ct aida and slowly go cross eyed stitching only grey for the next few months!

Note: the picture of the floss skeins isn’t the final order, I cut out and rearranged quite a few of them because they just didn’t fit in (3072 ended up looking so yellow).
