Using Hama 56 Red (Glow in the Dark) in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 11.1:1 (a strong edge) and against Hama 01 White 1.4:1, so Red (Glow in the Dark) pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 27 Beige, is ΔE 4.1 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Red (Glow in the Dark) for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S67, ΔE 1.9) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N07, ΔE 5.4). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says glow: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
