Using Hama 05 Red in a design
Next to Hama 01 White it has a contrast ratio of 5.9:1, a clear edge, and 2.6:1 next to Hama 18 Black. Use it for outlines and shading on light designs; on a dark background it nearly disappears.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 22 Dark Red, is ΔE 7.0 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Red for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S34, ΔE 5.1) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N19, ΔE 11.8). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 05 Red
Hama 05 Red belongs to Hama Midi fuse beads (5 mm). It fits a 5 mm Midi pegboard (29 × 29 pegs), and because Perler, Artkal S or Nabbi beads are 5 mm too, it can share a board with them.
