About these colors
DMC has never published official RGB or hex values for its threads, so every on-screen DMC chart — including this one — shows approximations measured from real skeins. Monitors and phones also display color differently. Use this chart to plan and to find numbers, then confirm with real floss or a printed DMC color card in daylight.
Need the closest DMC number to a specific color? Use Hex / RGB to DMC. To turn a whole photo into DMC colors, use the pattern maker.
