How to use the Madeira to DMC chart
35 % of Madeira colors land under ΔE 3 in DMC, the range where a swap is hard to spot at arm's length, and 6 (2 %) sit at ΔE 10 or more, where DMC simply has no comparable shade. DMC offers 489 colors against Madeira's 369, so most gaps come from hue coverage rather than count.
The chart is not symmetric. Going Madeira → DMC → Madeira, 196 of 369 colors come back to themselves; the other 173 land on a neighbor. Use the DMC to Madeira chart when your pattern is keyed in DMC.
DMC 939 Navy Blue Very Dark is the busiest target: it stands in for 9 different Madeira colors (Madeira 904, Madeira 913, Madeira 914 and Madeira 1006 and more). A pattern converted wholesale can merge shades that were distinct, so check areas where those colors meet.
