Conversion Notes
Sullivans 45213 is a close match for DMC 807 Peacock Blue. For hummingbird designs where 807 provides the characteristic iridescent-looking throat and back coloring of species like the ruby-throated or broad-tailed hummingbird, Sullivans 45213 should approximate the vivid blue-green adequately for most practical applications. The specific character of 807 — vivid enough to suggest tropical light and iridescence, blue-dominant enough to read as more blue than teal, not so green that it shifts into aqua or mint territory — is the quality to verify in hand before committing to large wildlife fill areas where accurate bird coloring is the design’s main subject. For mermaid tail and tropical ocean designs where 807 provides a primary vivid teal fill across large coverage areas, dye lot consistency across multiple skeins of Sullivans 45213 is worth attending to, since the highly saturated teal quality can show batch variation in large flat fills. For turquoise jewelry and gemstone cross-stitch where mineral color accuracy matters, the exact-rated Madeira 1111 is preferable to any close-rated alternative. For general vivid blue-green accent use in modest quantities, Sullivans 45213 provides a practical working substitute in most conditions.

- ! Brand sheen, strand thickness, and project lighting can make DMC 807 and Sullivans 45213 look further apart than the stored match rating suggests.

Before you commit
- Compare DMC 807 and Sullivans 45213: lay the physical skeins together in daylight before you mix brands in the same stitched area.
- Test on your project fabric: stitch a small sample so fabric color and stitch density reveal whether the match still holds at full coverage.
