Using Artkal ST4 Transparent Yellow in a design
Next to Artkal S13 Black it has a contrast ratio of 10.0:1, a strong edge, against 1.2:1 next to Artkal S01 White. It works as a highlight on dark designs; beside white beads it blends in.
Artkal S65 Canary is only ΔE 2.8 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Transparent Yellow, that is the swap; if you want two distinct shades side by side, pick something further apart.
Across brands, Hama has the closest stand-in (Hama 43, ΔE 2.9) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N21, ΔE 8.7). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says transparent: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
