How to use the DMC to Artkal S chart
14 % of DMC colors land under ΔE 3 in Artkal S, the range where a swap is hard to spot at arm's length, and 25 (5 %) sit at ΔE 10 or more, where Artkal S simply has no comparable shade. Artkal S offers 199 colors against DMC's 489, so some merging is unavoidable.
The chart is not symmetric. Going DMC → Artkal S → DMC, 117 of 489 colors come back to themselves; the other 372 land on a neighbor. Use the Artkal S to DMC chart when your pattern is keyed in Artkal S.
Artkal S S19 Bubble Gun is the busiest target: it stands in for 15 different DMC colors (DMC 224, DMC 225, DMC 353 and DMC 754 and more). A pattern converted wholesale can merge shades that were distinct, so check areas where those colors meet.
Threads come in far more shades than fuse beads, and beads are opaque plastic with a sheen, so the Artkal S side of this chart is a color plan for a bead version of a design, not a like-for-like swap.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Artkal S equivalent of DMC 310?
Artkal S S13 Black is the closest Artkal S match to DMC 310 Black (ΔE 10.5, loose). The runner-up is Artkal S S158 Pepper at ΔE 17.0.
How accurate is DMC to Artkal S conversion?
69 of 489 DMC colors (14 %) have an Artkal S match under ΔE 3 and the median gap is ΔE 5.4. Values are screen approximations, so treat close calls as a shortlist and compare real beads.
Which DMC colors have no good Artkal S match?
The widest gaps are DMC 35 (ΔE 16.1), DMC 300 (ΔE 14.3), DMC 938 (ΔE 14.3) and DMC 154 (ΔE 13.9). For these, consider a blend, a nearby shade from another brand, or recoloring that area.
Is the Artkal S to DMC chart this one reversed?
No. Each direction picks the nearest color from the other palette, so only 117 of 489 DMC colors survive a round trip unchanged. There is a separate Artkal S to DMC chart.
