How these matches were made
Each thread's color comes from the published RGB values in KXStitch's DMC and Anchor tables. For every DMC color we measured the difference to all 445 Anchor colors with CIEDE2000 (ΔE00), the formula color scientists use because it follows how people actually see color differences, then kept the smallest.
- Under 1: you won't see a difference.
- 1 to 2: only side by side.
- 2 to 5: close, a shade apart.
- 5 and up: noticeably different. Consider a swap in the pattern maker.
Thread makers' own conversion charts sometimes pair colors differently, because they match by dye family rather than by measured color, and dye lots vary. If a color matters, hold the skeins up together in daylight.
Going the other way? See the Anchor to DMC chart. Making your own pattern? The pattern maker shows both brands for every thread in your chart.
