How this table was made

Both charts are the manufacturers' published colour lists as RGB approximations, the same data Ink/Stitch ships. Each Isacord Polyester colour is converted to CIELAB and compared with every Brother Embroidery colour using CIEDE2000, which weights lightness, chroma and hue the way people see them; the closest wins and its distance is shown. ΔE under 1 is indistinguishable, under 2.3 very close, under 5 close, under 10 noticeable side by side, over 10 a different colour.

Where the charts disagree most

The Isacord Polyester colours with the weakest Brother Embroidery match are Herb Green 5866 (ΔE 18.8), Mahogany 1366 (ΔE 18.6), Pony 1233 (ΔE 18.4), Apple Butter 1526 (ΔE 17.3), Dirty Penny 1322 (ΔE 17.2), Wave Blue 4101 (ΔE 16.2). For those, pull the two nearest cones and hold them against the artwork in daylight rather than trusting the number.

Converting a whole design

Drop the stitch file on the thread colour converter to match every block at once and print the result as a colour sheet. Chart values are approximations, not spectrophotometer readings; confirm a customer's brand colour against a physical thread card.
