A striped lighthouse leans into the dusk from its cliff, lamp lit, sweeping its beam across a violet sky while surf breaks white against the rocks below. The beam is the design’s signature move: a straight pale wedge across the darkening sky, it is the kind of graphic gesture flat-color art does better than photography, and it places as one long satisfying light-toned run. The tower’s red and white bands stack cleanly (stripes are drill heaven), the keeper’s cottage keeps one amber window lit for scale and story, and the slate rocks break the surf into crisp white collision shapes. The sky deepens from dusty rose at the horizon to violet-navy up top in flat stepped bands, carrying most of the canvas’s fill in calm horizontal passes. Maritime kits are perennial for a reason — they let a wall say ‘steadfast’ without saying anything — and this one adds just enough dusk drama to escape the souvenir-shop register. Coastal, cabin, or guest room: it anchors.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 106×106 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

17 DMC colors over 11,236 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 5 of the 17 colors are blue steps, covering 75% of the canvas, with DMC 820 alone accounting for 33% (3,705 drills). 7 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.

that processes every Pixelmade order: saliency-weighted DMC selection, nearest-color
mapping, no dithering. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
