This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes anyway. What colour is your DMC 3768 if you are using it?
Mine is a steely grey blue or a steely blue grey, darkish.
Now I know things can look differently when photographed and printed. It is just that the pictures of the stitcheries containing this thread make it look like a medium, but definitely blue, blue. I did not use it for the birds in the bird bath. I picked something else. I have used it for the shed walls and they look dark, nothing like the picture on page 16.
What's yours like?

I am not sure but I am going to Spotlight in about 20minutes so I will look it up and get back to you!

Definately blue, but like you say a kind of steely grey blue.
Happy stitching Pia
I know what you mean, my blue is quite dark, a steely blue, but in the picture of the potting shed in the book it looks like a bright blue. I like the finished look of the dark shade, so I guess just use what you like the look of? Hope you are enjoying your stitching!
I have the DMC colourcard with all the colours and on the card 3768 looks more dark and steely than the thread when you use 2 strands.
I have used that colour on my shed on block A.
Happy stitching

I have just come from Spotlight and yes it is a pretty Steely blue grey colour. Thanks for pointing it out I like it!!

I would say mine is more of a medium blue, not steel, not grey.

I would agree with the comments above. Not gun metal blue but not a bright blue. I think it matches well with all the other colours used.
This DMC site might help?

I just checked DMC's site. 3768 is described by them as Storm Grey. I wonder if the number in the book is in error because the colour below it- 3766 (there is no 3767)- is called light medium blue.
I know I'm just being picky! It's just that it is a lot of stitching done to find out that the colour's not right.
