v3.2.16 Major DMC color palette update for cross stitchers

We just made a major update to the DMC palette!

Recently we've been getting more comments regarding the colors used in cross stitch when the DMC palette is selected.  A few people have mentioned that the overall stitched item was coming out too green.  Others have mentioned that the colors "just didn't look right".

We just totally rebuilt the palette (almost all 454 colors) with much more accurate colors.  This will immediately start rendering patterns that look much better.  When making the updates, I could see some image grays would wind up stitching green.  At least one green caused the program to choose a yellow floss.  There were many, many colors that were not right.

Going through the entire palette, we made many color corrections.  At the same time we also brought the color descriptions up to date and they now all match the official color list from DMC.

We also rebuilt the DMC "shades of gray" palette so this is also updated.

Let me know if you find problems.

Terry
