This package is a work in progress!
The goal of dmc is to allow you to find the closest DMC embroidery floss color(s) for a given color, as well as access color (hex, RGB) information about DMC colors.
You can install the development version of dmc from github with:
# install.packages(devtools)
devtools::install_github("sharlagelfand/dmc")Say I’m interested in finding the closest DMC floss color for the
background color of the dplyr package’s hex
logo
😈.
I can look up the hex code for this color via a site like HTML Color Codes. The hex code is “#EE8726”.
Then, I can use dmc() to find the closest DMC floss for this color:
library(dmc)
dplyr_background <- "#EE8726"
dmc(dplyr_background)
#> # A tibble: 1 x 6
#> dmc name hex red green blue
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 970 Pumpkin Light #F78B13 247 139 19
I can choose to show more than one matching color:
dmc(dplyr_background, n = 3)
#> # A tibble: 3 x 6
#> dmc name hex red green blue
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 970 Pumpkin Light #F78B13 247 139 19
#> 2 922 Copper Light #E27323 226 115 35
#> 3 721 Orange Spice Med #F27842 242 120 66
And to turn off the visualization of the colors:
dmc(dplyr_background, visualize = FALSE)
#> # A tibble: 1 x 6
#> dmc name hex red green blue
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 970 Pumpkin Light #F78B13 247 139 19If I want to go the other way and just find the hex/RGB information
for a given DMC floss, I can use undmc().
undmc("Ecru")
#> # A tibble: 1 x 6
#> dmc name hex red green blue
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 Ecru Ecru #F0EADA 240 234 218
undmc(310)
#> # A tibble: 1 x 6
#> dmc name hex red green blue
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 310 Black #000000 0 0 0This mostly just takes the DMC floss number, except in cases where there isn’t one (e.g., Ecru).
A full list of floss colors in the package is available via floss:

undmc().
