The same colour in Anchor, Madeira and Cosmo

Range	Code	Colour	How close	Distance
Anchor	137	Delft Med DK	hard to tell apart	2.8
Madeira	902	Blue Violet LT	close	5.3
Cosmo	664A	no name	hard to tell apart	2.6

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.
