DMC 806 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 1107 is an exact-rated equivalent for DMC 806 Dark Peacock Blue. For peacock feather and tropical ocean designs where the deep, jewel-like quality of dark peacock blue establishes the visual richness of the piece, Madeira 1107 is a fully dependable substitution. The exact rating means the blue-green balance that places 806 firmly in blue-dominant teal territory — rather than equally balanced or green-dominant — is preserved in the Madeira version, ensuring the thread reads as the rich, vivid deep blue-teal of peacock plumage rather than as an ordinary teal or dark turquoise. For Art Nouveau-inspired designs where jewel-tone color schemes require the deep peacock blue to read with maximum visual impact alongside deep violet and topaz gold, Madeira 1107 delivers the same jewel quality as the DMC original. For tropical reef and underwater scene designs where 806 fills the deepest water areas and the richest coral and mineral colors, Madeira’s consistent dye lot performance ensures even color across the large fill areas these designs typically require. Madeira 1107 and 1111 provide separate equivalents for 806 and 807 respectively, allowing complete peacock family gradients to be sourced from Madeira with reliable differentiation between the dark and medium peacock positions.
