Older and European patterns are often charted in Anchor. Use this table when your local shop stocks DMC: search for the Anchor number and read across to the nearest DMC code.
Every match is computed with CIEDE2000, the colour-difference formula that tracks how people actually perceive colour, from our documented RGB values (how colour matching works). Sort by the ΔE column to see which substitutions need the most care.
The reverse table, DMC to Anchor, is computed separately — conversions are not always symmetrical, because two Anchor shades can share the same nearest DMC colour.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the reverse conversion sometimes different?
Nearest-colour matching is not symmetrical. If two Anchor shades are both closest to one DMC colour, the DMC-to-Anchor table can only point back to one of them.
Are Anchor and DMC numbers related?
No — the numbering systems are independent, which is why a conversion chart is needed.
How should I handle approximate matches?
Lay the candidate DMC threads next to the rest of your palette in daylight and pick the one that keeps the contrast your design needs.
Can the generator use Anchor directly?
Yes. Choose Anchor as the palette in any cross-stitch or alpha bracelet tool and the key lists Anchor numbers, with the nearest DMC shown alongside.
