Conversion Notes
Sullivans 45040 is a close match in the very dark lavender range. At deep saturation levels, pigment density differences between brands are most apparent — a thread with insufficient dye concentration will appear slightly thinner or more faded against light fabric. Test coverage with two strands on your project fabric before filling large shadow areas. The warm lavender character is the key undertone to verify: a substitute that tips cooler or more blue-violet will disrupt the family identity in a 208-211 gradient sequence.
