Anchor 888Hazelnut Brown LT

The same colour in DMC, Madeira and Cosmo

Range	Code	Colour	How close	Distance
DMC	167	Praline	close	3.5
Madeira	2110	Avocado LT	hard to tell apart	2.6
Cosmo	576	no name	close	4.8

Each one is the nearest thread that range has, picked by measurement rather than read off a maker's conversion chart. The number is how far apart the two colours are on the scale the editor uses to match a thread to a picture; under 1 and nobody could tell them apart.

The colour on this page is our screen value for the thread, not the maker's. No thread maker publishes one, so every chart on the web is somebody's estimate, this one included. Use it to compare shades against each other, and buy from a real shade card.
