Using Hama 114 Cherry Red in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 6.3:1 (a clear edge); against Hama 18 Black only 2.5:1. That makes Cherry Red an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 13 Transparent Red, is ΔE 7.2 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Cherry Red for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S85, ΔE 2.4) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N04, ΔE 10.2). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 114 Cherry Red
Hama 114 Cherry 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.
There is also a mini version, Hama Mini 114 Cherry Red (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
