Against Perler Cocoa the contrast is 3.7:1 (a visible but soft edge) and against Perler White 3.2:1, so Peacock pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Perler color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Perler Turquoise, is ΔE 6.0 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Peacock for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S76, ΔE 2.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N23, ΔE 18.2). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
