Frequently asked questions
- What color is DMC 02?

- What DMC number is Tin?
- Tin is DMC 02, and it converts to Anchor 389. When you're buying floss, search by the number — DMC organizes its range by code, and thread names aren't always printed on the skein.
- What Anchor color is equivalent to DMC 02?
- DMC 02 (Tin) converts to Anchor 389. Cross-brand conversions are the closest available match, not an identical thread — DMC and Anchor shades can differ slightly, so check a physical shade card for colors that matter.
- What is the hex code for DMC 02?
- DMC 02 (Tin) is #D7D7D8 in hex — that's RGB 215, 215, 216 or HSL 240°, 1%, 85%. These are an approximation of the floss for on-screen preview; real thread color varies, so check a shade card before buying.
- How do I shade with DMC 02?
- To build dimension, flank DMC 02 (85% lightness) with a lighter and a darker neighbor: White Tin (DMC 01) sits at 90% for highlights, and Antique Blue Very Light (DMC 3752) at 82% for shadows. All three are perceptually close, so they read as one smooth gradient rather than a visible jump.

- The perceptually nearest DMC shades to 02 are Pearl Gray (DMC 415), Pewter Very Light (DMC 168), White Tin (DMC 01), ranked by CIEDE2000 color distance. They're useful for shading and blending, or as a substitute when 02 is out of stock.
