Does anyone else using your own floss colours instead of those given in the chart?

Hello!
Was wondering if anyone else using your own floss colours instead of those given in the chart?
I use to use sometimes different shades of colours in my charts as I think it becomes more personal. The reason for that is that I purchase local floss brand.

Yes I change the floss if it is from Anchor to DMC, that works very fine and the colours are the same and if not a bit of the colour change doesnt matter. No one have never notice it. :D

Sometimes, it depends on the pattern. With some patterns You will notice because the shadings are so subtle, and even the slightest change or mistake does make things look wrong. With others I have purposely changed the colors because I didnt like the way they looked and thought others would work out better. Sometimes I have even changed parts of the design itself.

I change up floss colors quite a bit.  If I dont like the colors Im more than willing to switch them out.  Its more creative to use colors that speak to you sometimes.

I usually change the colors if its a small pattern or if I dont have the right color code and something from my stash matches it close enough.
