Using Hama 62 Silver in a design

No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 71 Dark Grey, is ΔE 7.0 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Silver for the whole design.
Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N01, ΔE 4.3) and Perler the furthest (Perler Black, ΔE 7.0). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
