Using Artkal SN3 Neon Yellow in a design
Against Artkal S13 Black the contrast is 12.1:1 (a strong edge) and against Artkal S01 White 1.0:1, so Neon Yellow pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal ST4 Transparent Yellow, is ΔE 4.9 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Neon Yellow for the whole design.
Across brands, Hama has the closest stand-in (Hama 39, ΔE 1.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N21, ΔE 9.1). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says neon: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
