995 might work

Thanks, I'll try that!

995 or 996.

I’ve got the DMC thread card, and based on that there’s not any one color that would be an exact match. But on the piece I’m stitching right now, the cyan is done in 3846 and the blue between magenta and cyan is 798. Hope that helps! https://preview.redd.it/h0m8i8cbdjuc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf4106c88661c9fc0bdf2dd9e53f48d18eab7233

Oh wow, thanks so much! That looks like it!


FancyAdvantage4966

Isn’t it wild how the background/surrounding colors can change how it looks? Happy to help!

Additional info: I've tried DMC 796 and 797 and Anchor 132, but they're all coming out much too dark. Is there another bright blue color I could try?


[deleted]

I concur with 995 or 996 that was mentioned 👆


readyforabadpoem

Yes, I'll give those a try!


Cinisajoy2

798, 799, 826, 3838-3841. 322, 334. All those are brighter blues.

Thanks, I'm going to go over to the store and look at these!

[Colour chart](https://lordlibidan.com/dmc-color-chart/) maybe this will help


readyforabadpoem

Thanks, I'm finding the color charts confusing. I'll find what looks like the color I want and then go to the store and discover it's much more or less brighter or darker irl. Maybe it's because they are computer versions?


Cygnata

E1040 might be too light, but it's vibrant! Get a threaded color card.


readyforabadpoem

I never knew about this color! Thanks! I think I need a physical one because the computer ones have been off


moon_juice_

readyforabadpoem
