Using Hama 107 Lavender in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 5.2:1 (a clear edge) and against Hama 01 White 3.0:1, so Lavender pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 15 Transparent Blue, is ΔE 5.8 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Lavender for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Periwinkle Blue, ΔE 1.9) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N17, ΔE 8.3). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.

Hama 107 Lavender 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.
