Halcyon Yarn, Quality and Value for Fiber Artists

RGB and HEX digital color code approximations for yarn colors

This page links to color code data for each yarn line that we offer. Data are software generated approximations of the RGB and HEX values for yarn colors.

Color code values can be useful for design processes, such as using color codes to input yarn colors for digital design software.

Please note: Due to many factors (lighting, dye lots, imaging color spaces, display gamuts, color-averaging) the color codes are approximate. If they appear close and are useful, wonderful! However, please know that the color codes are not a true representation of the yarn color.
