Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N25, ΔE 3.9) and Perler the furthest (Perler Magenta, ΔE 6.6). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
The name says transparent: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
