DMC 489 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 189 is a close match for DMC 489 Dark Teal. The Anchor version may read fractionally more blue than the DMC's more balanced blue-green — a difference that is generally imperceptible in finished pieces but can be detected in direct thread comparison. For peacock feather, mermaid tail, and geometric designs where the specific teal balance matters, comparing the two threads on your project fabric before committing is the safest approach.
