DMC 3740 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 272 is a close match for DMC 3740 Dark Antique Violet. The near-neutral complexity of this thread — barely purple but unmistakably so — is exactly the characteristic that makes close-match substitutions most challenging. At this desaturated, dark value, even small differences in hue or saturation are more visible than they would be in a fully saturated color. A physical comparison against the DMC original is worthwhile before committing Cosmo 272 to shadow or outline work where the specific grayed quality is doing palette work.
