Using Artkal SL3 Glitter Red in a design
Against Artkal S01 White the contrast is 4.9:1 (a clear edge); against Artkal S13 Black only 2.5:1. That makes Glitter Red an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal S34 Red, is ΔE 3.7 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Glitter Red for the whole design.
Across brands, Hama has the closest stand-in (Hama 13, ΔE 1.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N19, ΔE 5.8). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says glitter: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.

Artkal SL3 Glitter Red belongs to Artkal S-series fuse beads (5 mm, soft). It fits a 5 mm S-series pegboard, and because Perler, Hama Midi or Nabbi beads are 5 mm too, it can share a board with them.
