Using Artkal SP2 Pearlescent Tangerine in a design
Against Artkal S13 Black the contrast is 5.7:1 (a clear edge) and against Artkal S01 White 2.2:1, so Pearlescent Tangerine pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
Artkal ST3 Transparent Tangering is only ΔE 2.8 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Pearlescent Tangerine, that is the swap; if you want two distinct shades side by side, pick something further apart.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Brick, ΔE 5.6) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N13, ΔE 8.4). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says pearl: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
