DMC 817 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 13 is listed as a close match for DMC 817 Very Dark Coral Red, and the difference is noticeable if you're mixing brands in the same piece. Anchor's version reads slightly less warm, with a touch more blue in the undertone, which shifts the coral warmth of 817 toward a more neutral dark red. In designs where 817's specific warm, orange-leaning dark red is doing color-temperature work in a gradient alongside coral and peach threads, this undertone shift from the Anchor version is a meaningful consideration.
