Conversion Notes

Madeira 1406 is a close match and tracks the dark grass green character well. A notable advantage of Madeira in this application is good colorfastness — meaningful for large landscape pieces that will hang in rooms with natural light. The slight thread weight difference compared to DMC is imperceptible in dark shadow fills where uniform coverage rather than visible texture is the goal.
