Hi Atalanta,

We're putting the data into a table, and hope to have a cross reference chart posted sometime next week.

AWESOME!!!!! :biggrin:

Thank you SO much!!!! Page is bookmarked!

Looked great. I don't think it needs anything else, I've noticed that the codes are the same whether they're 11/0 or 8/0 hex (which makes it nice when you want to mix styles in the same color - like Hex vs plain). And your treasures codes jive so that wasn't a problem.

When I decided to go from the 88¢ a bag beads to quality beads, I decided to go with Toho because R&T doesn't do Miyuki. Now that I've accumulated so many phials of beads I'm trying to make a color cards so I have a reference.

The problem is that the Toho color codes and the R&T color codes aren't similar. I know the R&T 11/0 codes all begin with 20-228- and I thought the last three digits would be the same as Toho's but your matte black is 024 and theirs is 610.

Do you have a conversion chart?

Thanks!!!

(Russ, if you've seen this in the Bead & Button list, it's because I asked it there too in case anyone over there should come to the same question.)

Here is the conversion chart!

Let me know if it should have any other information on it.
