Using Artkal SP8 Pearlescent White in a design
Against Artkal S13 Black the contrast is 10.4:1 (a strong edge) and against Artkal S01 White 1.2:1, so Pearlescent White pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Artkal color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Artkal S51 Spring Sun, is ΔE 4.3 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Pearlescent White for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Toasted Marshmallow, ΔE 2.0) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N12, ΔE 6.6). 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.
