Conversion Notes

Madeira 1716 is a close match in the medium-dark grey-blue range. The Madeira sheen is less noticeable at this darker value than at the pale end of the family — darker threads absorb more light, so the surface reflectance difference between DMC and Madeira is minimal. For nautical designs, stone wall shading, and architectural detail work where 161 carries structural shadow responsibility, Madeira 1716 delivers the weight and tone reliably.
