That's an approximate display color (source: CrazyArtZone (DMC)): screens and dye lots vary, so always check against a real skein or a printed shade card. Sullivans states it sells the same shades as DMC, so the screen color is that of the DMC equivalent.
DMC 3687 (published match, identical); Anchor 895 (closest on screen, very close); Madeira 0406 (closest on screen, very close). This page lists the conversions published by manufacturers first, then the closest threads on screen. A published conversion isn't always exact, so the on-screen difference is shown next to it.
