Using Hama 07 Purple in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 7.4:1 (a strong edge); against Hama 18 Black only 2.1:1. That makes Purple an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 24 Translucent Purple, is ΔE 6.1 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Purple for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S134, ΔE 5.6) and Perler the furthest (Perler Grape, ΔE 8.7). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
