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.
You can use both brands together for a project, for example, substitute one shade of DMC floss with ANCHOR floss, but please note that is not possible to provide a perfect color match between brands.
The Black Swan Color Palette uses the following shades of thread: Pewter Very Light, Pewter Light, Pewter Grey Dark, Pewter Grey Very Dark, Coral Light, Coral Medium.
DMC STRANDED COTTON
 |  |  |  |  |  |
| 168 | 169 | 413 | 3799 | 352 | 350 |
ANCHOR STRANDED COTTON
| | | | | |
| 389 | 400 | 236 | 236 | 9 | 11 |
