Conversion Notes

Sullivans 45117 is a close match for DMC 520 Dark Fern Green. At this dark, warm value, the quality difference between Sullivans and premium brands is less visible than at lighter values, making it a practical economy option for background foliage and shadow fills in large landscape pieces. The olive warmth should be verified in natural daylight — artificial light tends to flatten warm undertones and can make all dark greens look more similar than they are in person.
