Thread Colour Guide

Browse our full thread palette, note the shades you like, and we will match them to your design.

Choosing Thread Colours

Thread-based patches are built from a palette of numbered shades, so every colour in your design can be picked, named and matched exactly. The chart below shows the full range we work with, which makes it easy to pick colours that suit your artwork and your brand.

Look through the palette, jot down the numbers of the shades you like and include them when you ask for a quote. If you would rather not choose, just send your brand colours and we will suggest the closest thread matches for you.

Thread Colour Chart

Browse all 719 shades, filter by colour family, search by thread code, Pantone or HEX, or upload your logo to get the closest thread matches. Pick your favourites and copy the codes into your quote request.

Screen colours are a guide, not an exact dye match. Confirm critical shades with a physical thread sample before production. Pantone references are approximate.

Tips for Getting Your Colours Right

A few simple habits make the finished patch match what you pictured.

  1. Quote the thread numbers

    Write down the number printed beside each shade you want and add them to your quote request, so there is no guesswork.

  2. Expect slight screen differences

    Colours on a monitor or phone can look a little different from real thread, so check the digital proof before production starts.

  3. Send your brand colours

    Share your brand colour codes and we will match them as closely as the thread palette allows.

  4. Keep strong contrast

    Light lettering on a dark background, or the other way round, stays readable even on small patches.

Not sure which shades work best together? Send us your artwork and our team will suggest a colour set that keeps your design bold and true to your brand.
