DMC 157 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 120 is a close match for DMC 157, capturing the soft, violet-touched cornflower blue at the light end of the range. Anchor's version may present slightly more blue and slightly less violet, which can affect the thread's bridging role in palettes that blend blue and purple families. For designs where 157 is used as a standalone soft blue or sky color, the slight difference is typically invisible at viewing distance. Where it's doing precise color-bridging work, test on your project fabric alongside the adjacent colors.
