How many DMC floss colors are there?

DMC's solid-color Mouliné Spécial 25 line runs to around 500 colors, from the classics like 310 Black and BLANC White to the newer 01–35 series. Specialty lines (Light Effects, Color Variations, satin) add more on top.

Are the on-screen colors accurate to the real thread?

They're close but not exact. Hex values are digital approximations — dye lots, fabric, and lighting all shift how floss reads in real life. For color-critical projects, check a physical DMC shade card before buying.

Can I use these colors in my own patterns?

Yes — this catalog is built into the Craft Studio editor. Search by number or name while you design, extract a DMC palette from a photo, or generate color-theory combinations from any starting shade.
