Stitching with DMC 151

DMC 151 is number 2 of 44 in the DMC pink family, counted from the lightest. Nothing in the family is lighter nearby; shade down with DMC 153 Violet Very Light. No other DMC shade sits within ΔE 3, so it is hard to confuse with the rest of the card.
DMC 151 glows on black or navy Aida (contrast 14.5:1 against black) but almost disappears on white fabric (1.4:1).
For a fuse-bead version of the same design, the nearest beads are Perler Carnation Pink (ΔE 4.4), Hama 19 Clear (ΔE 12.1) and Artkal S S35 Mona Lisa (ΔE 4.3); beads come in fewer shades than DMC, so expect a close match at best.
