DMC 163 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 877 is a close match for DMC 163, capturing the general celadon blue-green territory. Anchor's version may run slightly warmer — a hair more green and a hair less blue than the DMC original, which can affect the thread's jade-like coolness in palettes built around the celadon ceramic aesthetic. For standalone celadon work in botanical and decorative designs, this warmth shift is typically invisible. For multi-shade celadon gradients where the cool-blue balance is critical, test Anchor 877 against your other shades first.
