Across brands, Nabbi has the closest stand-in (Nabbi N15, ΔE 4.7) and Artkal the furthest (Artkal SP8, ΔE 6.7). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
The name says glow: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
