DMC floss color chart

The editor matches photo colors to this list of 454 DMC numbers. It is a working chart for the tool, not a claim that every DMC color ever made is included, and the RGB values are not official DMC measurements.

How to find the closest DMC color

Search by the number printed on the skein, or by a word in the name. When a photo is converted, each pixel is matched to the nearest stored color with CIEDE2000, a perceptual distance. Compare a skein you are holding to the number, and use the square on screen only as a reminder. Other brands are not matched. If a number is missing from this list, pick the closest DMC color in the palette and note the substitution on your printed chart.

Numbers by color family

The codes are not a hue order. Black is 310, and 311 is Wedgewood. A family is the shared name. Cranberry is 600 through 605. Copper is 918 through 922, far from the other reds. This page has no family menu. Type the shared word, such as cranberry or copper, and the list below narrows to those names.

Using these with a photo

On photo to pattern, fewer colors means more pixels share one of these numbers. The crochet page uses the same numbers as color labels for yarn. Finished fabric inches are on the cross stitch calculator.
