Using Hama 40 Fluorescent Orange in a design
Against Hama 18 Black the contrast is 6.2:1 (a clear edge) and against Hama 01 White 2.5:1, so Fluorescent Orange pops on dark backgrounds and is a gentle tint on light ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 79 Apricot, is ΔE 3.9 away (close), so a swap would show; buy enough Fluorescent Orange for the whole design.
Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N13, ΔE 2.7) and Artkal the furthest (Artkal S04, ΔE 4.7). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
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.
