Using Perler White in a design
As the lightest plain Perler bead, Perler White is the brightest highlight in the range: 11.9:1 against Perler Cocoa. It makes a clean background for bold designs; next to other pale beads its edges soften.
No other Perler color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Perler Toasted Marshmallow, is ΔE 7.4 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough White for the whole design.
Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N15, ΔE 2.7) and Artkal the furthest (Artkal S01, ΔE 3.3). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
Pegboards and sizes for Perler White
Perler White belongs to Perler fuse beads (5 mm midi). It fits a 5 mm pegboard (29 × 29 pegs), and because Hama Midi, Artkal S or Nabbi beads are 5 mm too, it can share a board with them.
There is also a mini version, Perler Mini White (2.6 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
