Using Hama 01 White in a design
As the lightest plain Hama bead, Hama 01 White is the brightest highlight in the range: 15.5:1 against Hama 18 Black. It makes a clean background for bold designs; next to other pale beads its edges soften.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 64 Pearl, is ΔE 7.0 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough White for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S01, ΔE 1.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N15, ΔE 4.3). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 01 White
Hama 01 White belongs to Hama Midi fuse beads (5 mm). It fits a 5 mm Midi pegboard (29 × 29 pegs), and because Perler, Artkal S or Nabbi beads are 5 mm too, it can share a board with them.
There is also a mini version, Hama Mini 01 White (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
