Every row here is measured rather than copied from a maker's conversion chart. The measure is CIEDE2000, the same one the editor uses to match a thread to a picture, and the number is how far apart the two colours are on it; under 1 and nobody could tell them apart.

The colours on this page are our screen values for the threads, not the makers'. 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.
