DMC 817 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 2507 is a close match for DMC 817 Very Dark Coral Red. Cosmo's slightly higher sheen than DMC's more matte finish reads as slightly more vibrant in person, which may enhance the visual impact of 817's deep saturated red in some design contexts. For pieces where 817 is providing backstitch definition on warm red design elements, the sheen difference in Cosmo thread means the outlines will catch light differently than DMC backstitch — neither better nor worse, but worth knowing.
