About Color Finder

The Color Finder helps you discover substitute bead colors across different brands. Whether a specific Perler color is out of stock or you want to recreate a Hama pattern using Artkal beads, this tool finds the perceptually closest matches using the CIEDE2000 color difference standard.

Delta-E (dE) values indicate how different two colors appear to the human eye. Values below 3 are nearly indistinguishable, 3-6 are noticeable but acceptable, and above 6 the difference becomes obvious. Use these values to judge whether a substitute will work for your project.
