Paisley by Stacy Nash Designs is stitched on Legacy Linen 48 count Marchpane with
Surfine 2344, 2396, 2671, 2677, 2681, Creme, Blanc
2681 is my red, my suggestion for a softer red, a little more like Stacy Nash's model, would be 2523 (color # 523 in 100/3)
I used Blanc for all her snow so it would stand out against the Marchpane, but Creme for the detail within the dress so it would be softer - you can easily pick one or the other and go down to a single white/off white.
NB: to get the 100/3 equivalents, remove the 2 in front: 2681 in Surfine is 681 in 100/3, the Surfine color line derives from the 100/3 line
