Convert between Cosmo and DMC thread codes. Each match includes a quality percentage based on perceptual color distance — so you can see how close the substitution actually is.

Understanding match quality

  • 93–100% — Virtually identical. Hard to tell apart even side-by-side.
  • 85–92% — Very close. Minor differences visible only in direct bright light.
  • 75–84% — Good match. Noticeable when compared directly, but works well in most projects.
  • Below 75% — Approximate. Check the alternatives — there may be a better option.

FAQ

Can you substitute DMC for Cosmo?
In most cases, yes. Cosmo floss and DMC are both stranded cotton with similar coverage, so the closest DMC match usually works well. This tool shows the match quality percentage so you can judge each substitution yourself.
How is the match percentage calculated?
We use CIEDE2000, the industry standard for perceptual color difference. It measures how different two colors appear to the human eye. 93%+ is virtually indistinguishable; below 75% means a visible difference.
Can I convert an entire pattern from Cosmo to DMC?
Yes. Paste multiple Cosmo color codes (comma or newline separated) into the batch conversion field. You'll get a complete table with the best DMC match for each color.
