What's New in Thread Colour Picker
1.3
July 17, 2026
Thread Colour Picker has been upgraded with the internationally recognised **CIEDE2000 colour-difference formula**. The app now compares colours in a way that more closely reflects how the human eye sees differences in lightness, hue and colour intensity. When you select a colour from a picture, the app analyses it against the thread catalogue and presents the **five closest perceptual thread matches**. This delivers more natural, reliable recommendations and helps you choose thread colours that better represent the original image in your finished cross-stitch project.
