How to find the closest DMC with a RGB color

Hello!

My husband is knowledgeable with these kind of things and took the DMC colour list and the RGB values and made a tool that you can use to find colours when you are trying to do a cross stitch from a sprite sheet. You just put the RGB value of the colour and it finds the closest DMC to it. Hope this helps you out when trying to find some colours. If only every RGB had a DMC equivalent!;)

Edit: It would help if I gave the actual link to the site: www.elaida.org

nice! I'm way too lazy to look them up myself, but that could be useful for me when the colors the programs pick don't seem right...

That's pretty cool and clever. I've added to my bookmarks.

That's pretty awesome. I had another site that did the same, but it didn't show the colors unless you got within a few "variant" numbers. It seems to be the same concept though.
