DMC 162 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45477 is a close match at the ultra-pale blue end of the range. At values this light, the most important thing any substitute needs to deliver is the correct temperature — specifically, a cool blue-white rather than a warm cream-white. Check Sullivans 45477 in natural daylight against a piece of Blanc thread to confirm it reads as distinctly cooler. If the temperature difference is perceptible, it will perform as intended in sky gradients and water highlights; if the two threads look identical, the substitute offers no visual distinction from white and serves no purpose in the design.
