Reference notes

The DMC hex values are approximate screen references, not replacements for a physical thread card. Dye lots, lighting, fabric, and display calibration can change how a real color looks.

The tools are designed for planning and comparison. Always make a gauge swatch or test section before committing a large project to a material estimate or color match.
