Using Hama 34 Neon Yellow in a design
Next to Hama 18 Black it has a contrast ratio of 14.7:1, a strong edge, against 1.1:1 next to Hama 01 White. It works as a highlight on dark designs; beside white beads it blends in.
Hama 39 Fluorescent Yellow is only ΔE 2.1 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Neon Yellow, 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 SN3, ΔE 2.4) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N21, ΔE 10.7). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says neon: 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 34 Neon Yellow
Hama 34 Neon Yellow 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 34 Neon Yellow (2.5 mm), handy for scaling a design down to about half size.
