Using Hama 82 Plum in a design
Next to Hama 01 White it has a contrast ratio of 7.1:1, a strong edge, and 2.2:1 next to Hama 18 Black. Use it for outlines and shading on light designs; on a dark background it nearly disappears.
No other Hama color is within ΔE 3. The nearest, Hama 118 Maroon Red, is ΔE 13.9 away (loose), so a swap would show; buy enough Plum for the whole design.
Across brands, Artkal has the closest stand-in (Artkal S49, ΔE 0.9) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N04, ΔE 9.3). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 82 Plum
Hama 82 Plum 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.
