DMC 168 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45483 is a close match in the very light pewter gray range. At pale neutral values like this, the most important quality to verify in any substitute is temperature — a gray that reads slightly warm or slightly cool will behave differently in blending applications and alongside specific color companions. Compare Sullivans 45483 to a piece of white fabric and then to a pure warm cream; the thread should look clearly cool relative to the cream while reading as neutral rather than blue-gray next to the white.
