A program could convert a photo into exact quantized places where it could say that this is 167, 142 burnt ochre. I presume if they have light brown and slightly darker brown they differentiate by either false color (light brown=yellow, dark brown=green) or symbols?

That's what I use Markup R-XP for. Unfortunately with kits they don't give the number of the thread colour. You get the thread marked with the symbol. I use my DMC colour card to figure out the colours (or if it isn't DMC as close as I can get) and manually enter all the colour numbers into the app. I know from experience that Markup works better with pdfs. I tried with pictures when I started on the Mucha project and I couldn't get it to work to my liking. With a pdf it usually recognizes the grid pretty well (if it isn't scanned completely straight you can easily tweak it a bit) and it can index the symbols well (didn't work that well with a jpg). Photo support might have become better since then, but I know how to deal with pdfs and if you have a fair scan it'll work. It'll work with the scan I have, it recognized the symbols without a problem. It's just that I hate to look at the fuzzy symbols, it makes my eyes tired more quickly.
