Using Hama 63 Bronze in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 10.3:1 (a strong edge); against Hama 18 Black only 1.5:1. That makes Bronze an outline or shadow color for pale designs rather than a highlight on dark ones.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 12 Brown, is ΔE 7.0 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Bronze for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Cocoa, ΔE 2.7) and Artkal the furthest (Artkal S16, ΔE 9.9). All four brands are 5 mm, so a closer bead from another brand can sit on the same pegboard.
