Embroidery thread palette planner
Build and download a digital color palette to match against physical thread cards.
How to use it
Pick a color and give it a label that matches your design (for example, “Leaves”).
Add up to 30 colors to build the project palette.
Download the CSV and compare each swatch with physical thread cards in consistent lighting.
Palette planner, not a brand converter
This tool saves digital colors as a local CSV. It does not invent manufacturer shade numbers or claim an exact spool match. Check physical shade cards in consistent lighting.
Your data stays here
The palette is kept only in this page until you download it. DST files can show default colors; check the intended color sequence before stitching. More in thread color matching.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a hex color to an exact thread number?
Not reliably. Screens emit light while thread reflects it, and sheen, stitch direction and fabric change how a color reads. Use this palette as a starting point and match it against a physical shade card for your thread brand.
Is my palette saved or uploaded?
No. It exists only in this page until you download the CSV. Nothing is sent to a server.
