Conversion Notes

Anchor 280 is a close match for DMC 166, covering the medium-light saturated yellow-green range. Some stitchers find Anchor's version carries a barely perceptible olive cast — a slight additional warmth or brown that tempers the most vivid edge of the chartreuse-green. In tropical bird and macaw designs where DMC 166's full intensity is the point, this subtle muting might fall short; for foliage highlight and canopy work where a touch less stridency is welcome, Anchor 280 can actually be preferable. Test in natural daylight against your other palette greens.
