Conversion Notes

J&P Coats 7168 is a close match for DMC 807 Peacock Blue. For turquoise jewelry and gemstone cross-stitch — a growing genre where 807 represents high-quality Persian turquoise, Southwestern Native American turquoise, and the characteristic vivid blue-green of robin’s-egg turquoise — the close-rated J&P Coats equivalent may or may not capture the right blue-turquoise mineral character. Authentic turquoise has a specific blue-dominant quality that distinguishes it from the more green-toned Chinese turquoise; if J&P Coats 7168 drifts green, it represents a different variety of the mineral rather than the most prized blue-dominant Persian or Sonoran type. Comparing J&P Coats 7168 against reference images of authentic blue-dominant turquoise in natural daylight before stitching jewelry-themed pieces is the most reliable approach. For peacock and hummingbird wildlife work where the specific blue-green balance matters to the bird’s identification, the exact-rated Madeira 1111 provides more reliable performance. For general vivid teal and tropical fill applications in modest quantities where the precise blue-green balance is not design-critical, J&P Coats 7168 is a practical working substitute in most conditions.

Decision guide

When to trust DMC 807 to J&P Coats 7168

This page is strongest as a decision aid, not as a guarantee that two branded skeins will vanish into each other without testing.

Best for

  • + Replacing missing floss when DMC 807 is unavailable and J&P Coats 7168 is good enough after a stitched sample check.
  • + Shortlisting a J&P Coats substitute before you buy skeins, especially if your project can tolerate small differences in sheen or dye lot.
  • + Comparing this J&P Coats candidate against the other conversions and nearby DMC shades linked from the page before you commit to a full swap.

Watch for

  • ! Close matches are not safe to assume interchangeable in focal areas without a physical test on your fabric.
  • ! Brand sheen, strand thickness, and project lighting can make DMC 807 and J&P Coats 7168 look further apart than the stored match rating suggests.
  • ! If the design depends on smooth gradients or skin-tone transitions, compare this swap against the neighboring DMC shades before you substitute a large block.

Before you commit

  1. Compare DMC 807 and J&P Coats 7168: lay the physical skeins together in daylight before you mix brands in the same stitched area.
  2. Test on your project fabric: stitch a small sample so fabric color and stitch density reveal whether the match still holds at full coverage.
  3. Keep a fallback ready: if the swap feels off, use the linked related DMC shades or another brand conversion instead of forcing the closest stored match.
