DMC 402 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45087 is a close match for DMC 402 Very Light Mahogany. Verify in daylight, where warm artificial light won't mask an underlying coolness in the thread. For portrait and gradient work where 402 serves as the warm highlight at the top of a mahogany sequence, the exact matches from Anchor and Madeira are the safer choices — Sullivans is better reserved for standalone applications where exact gradient integration isn't required.
