Using Artkal SP5 Pearlescent Red in a design
Next to Artkal S01 White it has a contrast ratio of 3.9:1, a visible but soft edge, and 3.2:1 next to Artkal S13 Black. Use it for outlines and shading on light designs; on a dark background it reads as a quieter accent.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal S132 Flamingo, is ΔE 6.3 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Pearlescent Red for the whole design.
Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N19, ΔE 6.4) and Hama the furthest (Hama 33, ΔE 8.1). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
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.
