Plugin / scripts for paintings by numbers (heeelp)

We are engaged in the manufacture of paintings by numbers from a photo. We need a tool that can help with Image Trace, limit the illustrator's use of colors from our palette, that is, a function in which it will be possible to set the required number of colors that the illustrator can use. After that, the illustrator also needs to divide the created image into outlines. After that, it is necessary to number these outlines with numbers. The illustrator also needs to calculate how much paint (in milliliters) is needed for this image / painting based on its size.
I am attaching an example of what the final result of splitting a photo into contours looks like (file - 1)
And a list of necessary paints for coloring (file - 2), other ways of displaying this list are possible.

At the entrance:
- Raster format (photo)
- Color palette 250 colors

At the exit :
Painted layout
Pattern along the contours (vector) + raster along the contours
Paint consumption + contour number and corresponding color name for this contour

Control:
- The required quantity for a single painting is no more than 30 colors.
- Adjusting the number of contours + selection of non-processed area
- Adjusting the sharpness of the contours


We cannot solve the problem for a long time. Willing to pay money. Thanks for any feedback

Yes, but parts of the script have been removed from the resources to which their links lead 😞

In the tracing options you can increase noise or decrease the Path setting. As for running the script itself, I don't know what else to tell you. I get decent results converting this fairly large image to a 16 colour trace:


Your screenshot shows that the script did not put numbers on some of the contours. And it is still unclear where to look at the amount of paint for a particular painting. But thanks a lot for the time and your answers.
