Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal SP4, ΔE 5.5) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N25, ΔE 9.9). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
The name says translucent: that finish changes how the bead reads in light, and a hex value cannot capture it. Treat the swatch as the base color only.
