Check a chart against real drills before you buy a whole canvas’s worth.

Where the colour numbers come from

Read this before anything else. Diamond painting drills are sold by DMC floss colour number, so DiamondZoid matches to DMC’s Mouline Special colours, with numbers and names taken from DMC’s own product listings. DMC makes the thread, not the drills: drills are made by other companies to match DMC’s shades, and how closely varies by seller. DMC does not publish colour values, so the colour each number shows on screen is read from DMC’s own photo of that skein. It is close, but it is a photo, not a measurement. Not every seller makes every DMC colour as a drill.

Colour on a screen, resin in a hand

Screens differ, and a faceted drill catches light in a way no screen shows. Batches of the same number differ too. Buy all of one colour at once where you can.

Sizes and counts

Drill sizes are nominal: 2.5 mm square and 2.8 mm round, as drills are sold, though they vary by a fraction of a millimetre between sellers, and the canvas’s own border is extra. Drill counts are exact for the chart as drawn, with nothing added for drills that are lost, chipped or spilled.

Not affiliated

DiamondZoid is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to DMC or any drill or kit maker. DMC’s colour numbers and names are DMC’s, and appear only to say which colour to buy.
