Blue and turquoise DMC floss colors

FlossChart's DMC table has 89 blue and turquoise colors. This page lists all of them with the DMC number, the name and an approximate screen color, from the lightest (DMC 3756, Baby Blue Ultra Very Light) to the darkest (DMC 939, Navy Blue Very Dark).

How the list is made: a color is on this page when its DMC name contains one of these words: "blue", "turquoise", "cornflower", "wedgewood", "peacock", "delft", "aquamarine", "navy", "sky", "teal", "electric", "royal". Names are what DMC calls the color, so a few colors show up in two families (for example a "Blue Green" is on the green page and the blue page). Lightness is measured as CIELAB L*, the same color math the FlossChart converter uses.
