Are DMC and Anchor floss colors the same?

No. DMC and Anchor are separate brands, each with its own thread range. A conversion gives the closest available match rather than an identical color — the two often differ slightly in hue or lightness, so compare a physical shade card when accuracy matters.

How many colors are in this DMC to Anchor chart?

The chart lists all 489 solid DMC floss colors with their closest Anchor equivalent, color name and hex value.

Does every DMC color have an exact Anchor match?

Not always. Some DMC shades have no exact Anchor twin, so the listed number is the nearest available color. For a critical shade, hold both threads against a physical card before buying.

Can I convert Anchor numbers back to DMC?

Yes — the chart is searchable by Anchor number as well as by DMC number or color name, so it works in either direction.

Frequently asked questions

Are DMC and Anchor floss colors the same?: No. DMC and Anchor are separate brands, each with its own thread range. A conversion gives the closest available match rather than an identical color — the two often differ slightly in hue or lightness, so compare a physical shade card when accuracy matters.
How many colors are in this DMC to Anchor chart?: The chart lists all 489 solid DMC floss colors with their closest Anchor equivalent, color name and hex value.
Does every DMC color have an exact Anchor match?: Not always. Some DMC shades have no exact Anchor twin, so the listed number is the nearest available color. For a critical shade, hold both threads against a physical card before buying.
Can I convert Anchor numbers back to DMC?: Yes — the chart is searchable by Anchor number as well as by DMC number or color name, so it works in either direction.
