Also listed by some charts

Some charts give Anchor 162 for this DMC color, while others match it to a different Anchor number, so it is a weaker match than the DMC equivalents above.

These matches come from four published conversion charts that we cross-checked against each other. Brand conversions are approximate, so treat every match as the closest substitute rather than an identical color. The swatches show DMC's colors as on-screen approximations, so check a physical shade card for color-critical work.
