Which DMC color comes closest?

DMC 3825 Pumpkin Pale is a particularly good digital match for Peach Fuzz. DMC 20 Shrimp is a slightly pinker option.

Important: this is a practical digital approach, not an official conversion from Pantone or DMC. Screen color, dye bath, gloss, fabric color and light change how a hue is perceived. Therefore, compare the real yarn in daylight before starting a large project.

Use the palette for peach blossoms, shells, skin tones, romantic text, a sunset or a botanical wreath on natural fabric.

Use multiple threads for full color areas and one or two threads for soft transitions. By placing colors next to each other in small stitches, the eye blends the shades without the need for new thread colors.
