Use Threads / Customize Design > Match All Design Colors to automatically match and assign threads in the thread list to all colors in the Design Color toolbar.

Often you will want to assign your own thread chart to the Design Colors toolbar. For instance, if you open a design which uses colors from a thread chart you don’t have, you can match them to your preferred chart.

To select a preferred thread chart...

1Open the design you want to recolor.

4To change thread charts, click the Select Thread Charts button at the top left of the docker, and select your preferred chart/s from the dialog. Double-click or use the controls to transfer to the Selected panel and click OK.
