DMC Floss Color Chart
This page will give you a color picture of the DMC
floss colors arranged in color families (not by color number).
The picture comes from a DMC thread color book. Although not exact,
the colors are fairly accurate. Remember
that the colors you will see depend greatly on the quality and
calibration of your computer screen. The picture is
made up of high resolution scans that have been converted in
PhotoShop to a lower resolution .jpg file. The picture
does not include the 27 new colors added early 2002.
This color chart is handy if you want to change colors
in a chart. For example, say you want to change part of a
design from red to blue. The red in the design has shadowing (red
with 2 shades of darker red to create the
shadow or texture). An easy way to convert to blues would be to pick
all the shades of blue from the same family.
Here is the DMC color
chart (about 500 Kb). To find a particular color number in the
color chart you will
also need the color table. The table
gives the column that you will find the color number. You can save
the
color chart and table to you computer by clicking on its picture with
the right mouse button (Windows users).
