On screen it reads as #F0EEF9 — RGB 240, 238, 249 and HSL 251°, 48%, 95% — and it falls in the whites & creams range of the DMC chart. On-screen color is an approximation, so confirm against a physical shade card.
- What DMC number is White Violet?
- White Violet is DMC 27, and it converts to Anchor 342. 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 27?
- DMC 27 (White Violet) converts to Anchor 342. 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.

- DMC 27 (White Violet) is #F0EEF9 in hex — that's RGB 240, 238, 249 or HSL 251°, 48%, 95%. 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 27?
