Closest substitutes
Ranked by CIEDE2000 — the measure of colour difference built to match what an eye sees, rather than the distance between two sets of RGB numbers. A higher percentage means a swap fewer people would notice. Both ranges are ranked together, so the closest shade to a DMC colour may well be a J&P Coats one, and the other way round.

The rest of Green Gray
DMC prints this shade across a range, light to dark. These are its siblings — often the right answer when you want the same colour a shade deeper rather than a different colour altogether.
Know which of these you already own
Stitcheree keeps your floss box, your patterns and your finished pieces in one place — and when a chart calls for a colour you are out of, it ranks the substitutes against what is actually in your box rather than against the whole catalogue.
