447 DMC Color Comparison Chart

DMC (Dollfus-Mieg and Company) is a French textile company created in 1746. They are most known for their production of embroidery floss and yarn used in crochet and knitting. What does this have to do with the diamond painting you ask? All the drills (diamonds) used in diamond painting kits have been color-coded according to the same chart used by the mentioned company that produces embroidery floss and given a 'DMC number'.

There are 447 different DMC numbers altogether, meaning that there are 447 differently colored diamonds available to use when diamond painting. If you know the DMC code for your drills, you can combine them with your leftover drills from other paintings, which helps with organization. For example, DMC-522 is always an army green, DMC-310 is black and DMC-151 is baby pink. (Please note that there are sometimes slight color variances between different companies).

Please enjoy our free DMC color chart below. If you decide to print it off to use as a reference when kitting up your own diamond painting, please use a very high-quality laser printer, to ensure the accuracy of color swatches
