Madeira 106Canary Yellow Bright

Madeira 106 is #FABE20, RGB 250 190 32. The three beside it are the closest of the 366 Madeira threads, measured the way the editor measures a colour match.

The same colour in DMC, Anchor and Cosmo

Range	Code	Colour	How close	Distance
DMC	444	Bright Yellow	hard to tell apart	2.2
Anchor	290	Lemon DK	hard to tell apart	1.7
Cosmo	144A	no name	close	4.1

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.
