We have those for the first 42 Blendables colors, and 4030 is one of those 42. When we developed the Blendables®, we used our rayon palette of 333 solid colors to engineer the combinations. Rayons and cottons dye entirely differently, so the end result is a hybrid that only comes close to the rayon colors chosen. So the colors shown on the list attached is for the rayons chosen, but the end result of the Blendables colors can be much different.
We do have a real thread chart for the cottons, including the Blendables, as well as for the rayons in separate chart here.
Because the colors are dyed randomly in changing increments of 2-1/2” to 5”, the colors truly blend from one to the other (hence the name). So there are shades of all the colors that makes them blend beautifully with batiks and other fabrics. I spool some onto a fabric to see how they blend, and truly you just can’t go wrong. Looking at the colors on the spools does not tell you nearly as much as when you lay some out on the fabrics. Colors you think would never work together, just magically do.
Also, the dying process for the Cotton Blendables and the Cotton Solids is completely different making it even more challenging.
