Using Hama 25 Translucent Brown in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 5.0:1 (a clear edge); against Hama 18 Black only 3.1:1. That makes Translucent Brown an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
Hama 76 Nougat is only ΔE 1.9 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Translucent Brown, that is the swap; if you want two distinct shades side by side, pick something further apart.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S17, ΔE 3.3) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N27, ΔE 6.2). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says translucent: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.

Hama 25 Translucent Brown 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.
