Conversion Notes

Sullivans 45471 is a close match in the medium-light periwinkle blue-violet range. Coverage at this value level is generally straightforward with two strands on standard counts. The greyed, soft quality that makes DMC 156 so effective for atmospheric backgrounds should be present in the Sullivans version — if the Sullivans thread reads as sharper or more saturated in direct comparison, it may stand out against adjacent desaturated colors where 156 would fade softly into the background.
