Using Hama 39 Fluorescent Yellow in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 15.4:1 (a strong edge) and against Hama 01 White 1.0:1, so Fluorescent Yellow pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
Hama 34 Neon Yellow is only ΔE 2.1 away, so on a fused piece the two read as one color. If you run short of Fluorescent 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 1.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N21, ΔE 10.3). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says fluorescent: 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 39 Fluorescent Yellow
Hama 39 Fluorescent 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.
