Are the on-screen colours exact?

No screen shows thread exactly. Swatches use the published on-screen values, which are close enough to plan a palette. Check real skeins before a large project.

Why is my brand missing some colours?

These charts list each brand's standard solid floss. Metallic, variegated and speciality threads are not included.

Where can I find the hex code of a DMC colour?

Open the DMC colour chart: every colour lists its hex code, and you can search by hex to find the nearest number.
