Using Hama 13 Transparent Red in a design
Next to Hama 01 White it has a contrast ratio of 5.0:1, a clear edge, and 3.1:1 next to Hama 18 Black. Use it for outlines and shading on light designs; on a dark background it reads as a quieter accent.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 29 Claret, is ΔE 6.4 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Transparent Red for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal SL3, ΔE 1.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N19, ΔE 6.7). 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.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 13 Transparent Red
Hama 13 Transparent Red 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 13 Transparent Red (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
