Using Hama 84 Olive Green in a design
Against Hama 01 White the contrast is 4.1:1 (a visible but soft edge); against Hama 18 Black only 3.8:1. That makes Olive Green 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 110 Matcha, is ΔE 8.6 away (similar), so a swap would show; buy enough Olive Green for the whole design.
Across brands, Perler has the closest stand-in (Perler Olive, ΔE 4.4) and Nabbi the furthest (Nabbi N16, ΔE 12.2). Nabbi's palette is small (30 colors), which limits its matches.
Pegboards and sizes for Hama 84 Olive Green
Hama 84 Olive Green 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.
