DMC 862 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45337 is a close match for DMC 862 Very Light Gray. In practical use, very light neutral grays from any close-rated brand source read as very light gray in finished work — the pale value makes minor undertone differences less critical than at mid-range values. For metallic simulation and white-subject highlight work where 862 appears in small accent quantities, Sullivans 45337 is a functional alternative. For large fills in ghost-stitching or atmospheric effects, consistent sourcing from the same dye lot is more important than brand choice.
