Artkal to Perler bead conversion

The closest Perler® bead for each of the roughly 200 Artkal S midi colours, for making Artkal patterns with Perler beads.

Many online bead patterns are made with Artkal's large palette. When you only have Perler beads, use this table to choose the nearest colour for each Artkal code, and watch the rating: with a smaller palette, some Artkal tints have no close Perler equivalent.

Every match is computed with CIEDE2000, the colour-difference formula that tracks how people actually perceive colour, from our documented RGB values (how colour matching works). Several Artkal colours may point to the same Perler bead. If two neighbouring colours in your pattern collapse into one, pick a second-best shade by eye to keep the detail.

The bead pattern editor can remap a whole design to Perler at once, then lets you adjust individual colours and shows the new bead counts.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some Artkal colours share a Perler match?

Artkal has about twice as many colours as the Perler range we track, so several close Artkal shades often have the same nearest Perler bead.

How do I keep detail when converting?

Look for places where two Artkal colours became one Perler colour, and choose a slightly different Perler shade for one of them so the edge stays visible.

Are the codes official?

Codes and names come from a community-maintained bead colour dataset and may differ slightly from current packaging.

Can I convert to Hama instead?

Choose Hama as the palette in the editor, or use the Perler to Hama table after converting to Perler.
