DMC colour chart

287 DMC stranded-cotton shades with code, name, hex and RGB value - the same thread table Stitcherry matches your photo against.

DMC codes are catalogue numbers rather than a colour system, so a shade's number tells you little about the colour itself. Use the search box to jump to a code you already have, or browse by family below. Screen colours are approximate: monitors vary, and floss is more saturated in the hand than on a display - check against a real shade card before buying a critical colour.

How Stitcherry uses this table

When a photo is converted to a chart, every stitch has to land on a thread you can actually buy. Stitcherry converts each colour to CIELAB and picks the nearest shade in this table using a ΔE2000 perceptual distance, which is what stops skin tones drifting green and blues drifting purple the way plain RGB matching does.

More on buying and using the threads in the DMC thread guide, or work out your finished size with the Aida calculator. Ready to make something? Open the editor.
