Conversion Notes

Anchor 176 is a close match for DMC 161, holding the grey-blue character at this medium-dark value with reasonable accuracy. As the anchor shade in the grey-blue family, 161 defines the shadow end of the sequence — its substitute needs to read as darker and cooler than the mid-tone without crossing into pure blue or pure grey. Test Anchor 176 against your chosen versions of 159 and 160 to confirm the gradient step relationships hold before proceeding to a large fill area.
