Using Hama 19 Clear in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 12.4:1 (a strong edge) and against Hama 01 White 1.3:1, so Clear pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 64 Pearl, is ΔE 5.8 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Clear for the whole design.
Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N10, ΔE 3.0) and Artkal the furthest (Artkal S77, ΔE 5.3). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
The name says clear: 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 19 Clear
Hama 19 Clear 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 19 Clear (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
