Anchor Thread Color Chart
442 Anchor stranded cotton colors with number, name and approximate HEX, grouped by color family. To swap threads between brands, use Anchor to DMC or DMC to Anchor.
Open Anchor lists disagree: the two independent lists we compared differ by a median ΔE of 6.5. The 54 threads marked Stable look nearly the same (within ΔE 3) in both; for the others, the on-screen color is a rough guide only.
