Green DMC floss colors

FlossChart's DMC table has 111 green colors. This page lists all of them with the DMC number, the name and an approximate screen color, from the lightest (DMC 10, Tender Green Very Light) to the darkest (DMC 934, Avocado Grn Black).

How the list is made: a color is on this page when its DMC name contains one of these words: "green", "grn", "olive", "avocado", "pistachio", "jade", "celadon", "emerald", "forest", "moss", "parrot", "fern", "nile", "chartreuse", "hunter", "pine", "kelly", "khaki", "apple". 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.

The biggest green color groups

Many DMC colors come in runs of one name from very light to very dark. In this family the biggest runs are: Blue Green (6), Golden Olive (6), Green (6), Avocado Green (5), Celadon Green (5). The Blue Green run, light to dark, is: Blue Green Very Light (504), Blue Green Light (3813), Blue Green Medium (503), Blue Green (502), Blue Green Dark (501), Blue Green Very Dark (500).

The closest look-alikes in this family, by the same color difference: DMC 732 and DMC 731 (difference 1,0); DMC 966 and DMC 3813 (difference 2,0); DMC 3053 and DMC 522 (difference 2,4). On screen these are hard to tell apart, so check the real thread before you swap one for another.
