Using Artkal SP4 Pearlescent Pink in a design

No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal SG2 Glow Pink, is ΔE 4.5 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Pearlescent Pink for the whole design.
Across brands, Hama has the closest stand-in (Hama 95, ΔE 1.6) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N18, ΔE 9.7). 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.
