DMC 891 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45244 is a close match for DMC 891 Dark Carnation. In high-saturation pinks, the close rating indicates some difference in the specific warm-pink character — which is more visible in vivid colors than in muted ones. For Valentine designs and bold floral pieces where 891 is the deepest pink, Sullivans 45244 provides adequate deep-pink depth in most finished work. For gradient work where 891 must relate correctly to the lighter carnation family values, testing the complete Sullivans gradient before committing ensures the step relationships read naturally.
