Questions

How do I read this chart?

Each row is one Slow Beads palette color: its swatch, code and name come first, then the closest standard solid color from Perler, Hama, Artkal and Mard, with that brand’s code and name. A ≈ sign means the brand has no really close color, so treat it as a rough substitute.

How do I use it with the patterns?

Every pattern page lists its colors by Slow Beads code with bead counts. Find each code in this chart to see which bead to use in the brand you own. Pattern pages already show matches for that pattern and sometimes pick the next-closest bead so two similar colors don’t become the same one.

Are these official brand colors?

No. The color values are community reference data (maxcleme/beadcolors), matched by perceived color difference (CIEDE2000). Screens and bead batches vary, so compare with your own beads before buying a lot.
