DMC 480 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 268 is a close match for DMC 480 Very Dark Grass Green. At this dark value, brand differences are less visible in finished pieces than in lighter shades — the depth of pigment helps mask minor variations in hue or sheen. Anchor 268 is a reliable practical substitute for grass shadow work, insect exoskeleton shadows, and deep foliage fills. If using Cosmo for the rest of the grass green family (973–975), consider whether mixing Anchor for 480 introduces any inconsistency in the gradient.
