DMC 223 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 895 is an exact match for DMC 223 — excellent news for a thread that is often used in large fill areas for floral mid-tones. The warm, dusty shell pink character is faithfully reproduced, and the Anchor version can substitute without visible difference in most applications. If you're using 223 as part of a full shell pink gradient, sourcing multiple values from Anchor is straightforward since other shell pink shades also have confirmed Anchor equivalents with exact or close ratings.
