Why the thread can look different from the screen

Floss is shiny, twisted cotton, so it looks lighter or darker depending on the light and the fabric under it, and every screen shows color a little differently. The hex values here are good for planning, matching and making patterns; for a large area in one color, check the skein in daylight before buying.

Questions

How many DMC floss colors are there?

DMC six-strand embroidery floss (Mouliné Spécial, 117MC) comes in about 500 solid colors. This chart lists the 489 in our color data, including Blanc, Ecru, B5200 and the 35 colors numbered 01 to 35 that DMC added in 2017. Variegated, Light Effects, Satin and Étoile threads are separate lines and aren't listed.

What is the hex code for DMC 310?

DMC 310 is DMC's black: #000000 here (RGB 0, 0, 0). For a softer near-black, stitchers often use 3371 Black Brown.

What is the whitest DMC floss?

B5200 Snow White is the brightest white. Blanc is a slightly softer white, and Ecru is an off-white.

How do I convert a hex or RGB color to DMC?

Paste the hex code or RGB values into the color finder above, or pick a color from a photo. It lists the five closest DMC colors by the CIEDE2000 color difference, the standard measure of how different two colors look; under 2 is hard to tell apart.

Are these the exact thread colors?

They are close on-screen values from MakeBead's color data, not lab measurements, and every screen shows color a little differently. Check a real DMC color card or the skein before buying many skeins of one color.

How do I turn a photo into a cross stitch pattern in DMC colors?

Use the photo pattern maker on our home page: it matches every square of your photo to these DMC colors, merges them to the number of colors you choose and gives a PDF chart with symbols, DMC numbers and skein counts. The color preview is free.
