DMC thread

444

Bright Yellow

Beside the three DMC threads closest to it, so the only thing changing is the colour.

DMC 444 is #F0B900, RGB 240 185 0. The three beside it are the closest of the 482 DMC threads, measured the way the editor measures a colour match.

The same colour in Anchor, Madeira and Cosmo

Anchor 290 Lemon DK hard to tell apart 2.6
Madeira 106 Canary Yellow Bright hard to tell apart 2.2
Cosmo 702 no name close 5.3

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.
