DMC 918 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45264 is a close match for DMC 918 Dark Red Copper. At this dark, saturated value, coverage consistency is important — maintaining even stitch density in the shadow areas of animal fur designs prevents the distracting gaps that can appear in near-dark colors on light fabric. The close rating indicates some color difference that's most perceptible in direct comparison, but in finished animal and nature designs where 918 functions as the deepest warm shadow, Sullivans 45264 reads adequately at normal viewing distances.
