You confirm what should be painted. White paint gets a chart symbol, while bare canvas stays blank.

What Chart Studio does differently
It builds the grid, then helps you check the choices that matter before you download the chart.
The palette follows the artwork.
A one-color design can stay one color. The studio does not fill a preset number of palette slots.
1 paint color usedBare canvas is not counted as a paint color.
Needlepoint Check
Compare questionable squares with the original.
The studio flags isolated marks, possible missing paint, close colors, and thin lines. It shows the evidence before you decide. It never changes the chart on its own.
