Working with Anchor 1026
DMC 754 is the practical DMC substitute for Anchor 1026. It is practically the same in lightness and saturation, a ΔE of 1.2 that shows only side by side, so keep to one brand inside a single shaded area.
Anchor 1026 is number 4 of 23 in the Anchor beige and tan family, counted from the lightest. For shading, step up to Anchor 1010 Cinnamon Very Light and down to Anchor 1012 Chicory Light. No other Anchor shade sits within ΔE 3, so it is hard to confuse with the rest of the card.
Anchor 1026 glows on black or navy Aida (contrast 14.6:1 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 Peach (ΔE 3.9), Hama 78 Light Peach (ΔE 5.9) and Artkal S S19 Bubble Gun (ΔE 4.4); beads come in fewer shades than Anchor, so expect a close match at best.
