Using Perler Teal in a design
Against Perler White the contrast is 4.1:1 (a visible but soft edge); against Perler Cocoa only 2.9:1. That makes Teal an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Perler color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Perler Peacock, is ΔE 8.8 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Teal for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S105, ΔE 3.8) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N09, ΔE 23.1). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
