Using Hama 119 Sky Blue in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 4.6:1 (a clear edge); against Hama 18 Black only 3.4:1. That makes Sky Blue 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 41 Fluorescent Blue, is ΔE 5.0 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Sky Blue for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S142, ΔE 2.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N17, ΔE 5.9). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 119 Sky Blue
Hama 119 Sky Blue 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 119 Sky Blue (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
