894
Rose
Beside the three DMC threads closest to it, so the only thing changing is the colour.
DMC 894 is #FF7C9A, RGB 255 124 154. 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
| Range | Code | Colour | How close | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Cosmo | 105 | no name | close | 4.3 |
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.
