Colors
The listing includes one chart that can be applied for both white and black canvas, with some of the floss colors replaced.
The floss is from the DMC Light Effects collection, but you may use the same floss numbers without the E prefix for regular stranded cotton
floss.
Color schemes:
Original: E898 dark oak for the walls, E310 black for the window settings.
Original on dark canvas: substitute E898 Dark oak with E746 cream; substitute E310 black with E940 glow in the dark.
Note: you may also stitch walls and window settings in regular cotton, for example 310 black on white canvas, and use Light effects only for the windows, this will create a nice contrast of rough surface of the walls and glass of windows. On black canvas, you may stitch the walls AND the window settings in E940 glow in the dark.
The pattern will look great with any color scheme, so you may use the floss you have left and black or white for the background.
