Using Hama 76 Nougat in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 4.9:1 (a clear edge); against Hama 18 Black only 3.1:1. That makes Nougat an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
Hama 25 Translucent Brown is only ΔE 1.9 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Nougat, that is the swap; if you want two distinct shades side by side, pick something further apart.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S41, ΔE 5.0) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N27, ΔE 8.0). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.

Hama 76 Nougat 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.
