DMC 523 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 897 is a close match that may skew marginally more saturated depending on the batch — a shift that at this light value can be the difference between the muted, pistachio-shell quality that makes 523 botanically convincing and a cleaner leaf green that reads differently in context. For primitive samplers and botanical designs where the muted warmth is the point, audition Cosmo 897 on your actual fabric first. For spring and wedding designs where a touch more vibrancy would be welcome, the slight saturation increase may even be preferable.
