Madeira 204Tangerine DK

Madeira 204 is #F7722A, RGB 247 114 42. 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	740	Orange Papaya	hard to tell apart	1.7
Anchor	330	Orange	hard to tell apart	1.3
Cosmo	147	no name	close	3.1

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.
