I start in the middle too, after a mishap where I accidentally didn't leave enough space and had to alter the design to get it to all fit.
I start with the lightest colors and stitch my way darker. It doesn't seem to matter as much with DMC, but with some of the hand dye threads I was picking up little fibers of the darker colors in my light colors and I ended up pulling them out with tweezers later. So now I start with the light ones in areas where they'll be immediately next to darker colors.
