Madeira Polyneon
349 colours. Numbers are the manufacturer's catalogue numbers; colours are RGB approximations from the published chart.
Polyneon is Madeira's 40-weight polyester, over 400 colours, and the commercial default in Europe. Numbers are four digits starting with 1 (1800 is black). It is the chart to convert to if your supplier is Madeira; the rayon line (Madeira Classic) has its own numbers.

Using this chart
To find the Madeira Polyneon number for a colour you have in another brand, open the thread colour converter, type the number and brand you have, and pick Madeira Polyneon as the target; the three closest matches are shown with their distance. To convert a whole design, drop the stitch file on the converter and every block is matched at once.
Distances are CIEDE2000 on the chart colours: under 1 is indistinguishable, under 2.3 very close, under 5 close enough for most work, over 10 a different colour. Chart values are approximations, not spectrophotometer readings, so confirm a customer's brand colour against a physical thread card.
