Using Hama 14 Transparent Yellow in a design
Next to Hama 18 Black it has a contrast ratio of 8.9:1, a strong edge, against 1.7:1 next to Hama 01 White. It works as a highlight on dark designs; beside white beads it blends in.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 60 Teddybear Brown, is ΔE 8.3 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Transparent Yellow for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S86, ΔE 3.4) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N29, ΔE 9.5). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
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.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 14 Transparent Yellow
Hama 14 Transparent Yellow 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.
