Using Artkal SP7 Pearlescent Purple in a design
Against Artkal S01 White the contrast is 6.9:1 (a clear edge); against Artkal S13 Black only 1.8:1. That makes Pearlescent Purple an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal S59 Butterfly Bush, is ΔE 6.9 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Pearlescent Purple for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Purple, ΔE 2.8) and Hama the furthest (Hama 24, ΔE 6.2). 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.
