    Using the DMC color database

    Is this an official DMC chart?

    This is an independent digital reference from Paint Me Like, using a community color dataset. DMC is a trademark of its owner; this tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by DMC.

    Will the colors look exactly like my threads or drills?

    Screen settings, lighting, material, and dye batches affect color. Digital swatches and printed copies are approximate. Use physical samples when an exact match matters.

    Can I print just the colors I need?

    Yes. Search or choose a color family, then select Print chart / save PDF. Your browser prints the filtered colors. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog to keep a copy.

    Does this include every DMC product?

    This reference contains 489 solid floss colors from the bundled dataset. It does not cover every specialty range, finish, or future release.
