DMC TO ANCHOR EMBROIDERY COLOR CONVERSION CHART
DMC and Anchor are the most commonly used brands of stranded cotton. They both have a wide variety of colors and are made of good-quality stranded cotton. The thread is comprised of six strands, which can be easily separated as you might want to stitch with less than 6 strands depending on your project.
The Red Vintage Birds Color Palette uses the following shades of thread: Coral Red Very Dark, Coral Medium, Drab Brown Very Light, Drab Brown Light, Drab Brown Dark, Beige Brown Dark.
DMC STRANDED COTTON

Feel free to adapt these color suggestions to suit your project. If you plan to use these color palettes for needle painting projects, you can include more shades from each color family to create a smoother transition between shades.
For example, to create a smoother transition between the red shades, you could add more thread colors of similar tones, from the same red family: DMC 352 (Coral Light), DMC 351 (Coral), DMC 350 (Coral Medium), DMC 349 (Coral Dark), DMC 817 (Coral Red Very Dark).
