DMC 890 to J&P Coats: Thread Conversion

J&P Coats 6021 is a close match for DMC 890 Ultra Dark Pistachio Green — notably the same number listed for the J&P Coats equivalent of DMC 895 (Very Dark Hunter Green), suggesting these two very dark greens share the same closest J&P Coats approximation. This means J&P Coats 6021 can substitute for either deep green family, but won't differentiate precisely between the pistachio and hunter green characters in designs that use both 890 and 895 as distinct elements. For holiday designs where the darkest green depth is the primary need and the specific pistachio-versus-hunter-green undertone character matters less than sheer depth, J&P Coats 6021 is a workable substitute. For designs that specifically require the pistachio family undertone at this dark value — maintaining the family coherence of a 890-through-369 gradient — verifying that J&P Coats 6021 reads as pistachio-family rather than hunter-family green in your specific design is important before committing to the full gradient in J&P Coats.
