DMC 280 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 845 is a close match for DMC 280, though it tends to sit a fraction cooler — slightly more blue-green and less yellow-green in its composition. In isolation this shift is often imperceptible, but if you're stitching the 280/281/282 yellow-green gradient and substituting only the darkest value, the temperature difference may weaken the family cohesion. The practical recommendation is to either substitute all three gradient values from Anchor, or stay with DMC for the entire family. For standalone uses of this very dark olive green, Anchor 845 is a serviceable choice.
