Conversion Notes

J&P Coats 7023 is a close match in the medium-dark grey-blue range. For nautical motifs, coastal samplers, and historical military designs where 161 carries shadow and depth responsibility, J&P Coats 7023 provides a practical domestic option. Check the grey-blue balance in natural daylight — a version that tips toward warmer or more purely blue will read incorrectly as a shadow in sequences designed around the cooler, muted grey-blue character of the DMC original.
