Using Hama 16 Transparent Green in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 7.3:1 (a strong edge) and against Hama 01 White 2.1:1, so Transparent Green pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 42 Fluorescent Green, is ΔE 6.8 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Transparent Green for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S122, ΔE 2.6) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N22, ΔE 7.1). 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 16 Transparent Green
Hama 16 Transparent Green 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 16 Transparent Green (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
