DMC 829 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45230 is a close match for DMC 829 Very Dark Golden Olive. At this dark value, the close rating is less critical than it would be in a lighter color — the depth of pigment helps mask minor undertone differences. For designs where 829 functions primarily as a deep shadow anchor, Sullivans 45230 will read adequately in finished work. For gradient work where the specific golden character must be preserved through all five family values, staying with DMC or using an exact-match brand for the complete sequence is preferable.
