Opinions
This pattern recommends 2 or 3 strands on 14 count aida. You will want to adjust the number of threads you use to fit the aida count you choose. This is a matter of the stitcher's preference.
Colors are a suggestion, not a rule. I select my colors based on how they look in real life. Pattern software may skew colors a bit, and dye lots may vary. I am a fan of substituting colors according to preference or necessity.
