Conversion Notes

Cosmo 175 is a close match for DMC 860 Medium Gray. Cosmo's thread finish adds a slight luminosity that can make neutral grays read as marginally different in person compared to DMC's matte surface. For antique-aesthetic blending work where 860's neutrality is used to mute other colors, testing Cosmo 175 in a small swatch confirms whether the desaturation effect produces the intended vintage quality. For contemporary geometric and urban landscape designs, Cosmo 175 is a workable mid-gray alternative.
