DMC 3799 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 1714 is a close match but carries a slightly warmer tone than DMC 3799 — the faint blue-cool quality that defines the pewter gray character shifts subtly toward brownish-dark. In outlining and backstitch applications where this thread is used in small quantities, the difference is rarely apparent. For large fill areas where 3799 is functioning as the dark value in a cool-toned palette, the slight warmth of the Madeira version is worth comparing against your fill threads before committing.
