Using Artkal SL4 Glitter Yellow in a design
Against Artkal S13 Black the contrast is 7.4:1 (a strong edge) and against Artkal S01 White 1.7:1, so Glitter Yellow pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal S61 Key Lomen Pie, is ΔE 3.5 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Glitter Yellow for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Sunflower, ΔE 5.2) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N30, ΔE 7.5). 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.
