Artkal Beads Color Chart

Artkal beads are sold as five separate lines, and the letter identifies the line rather than a color range. S is the 5 mm hard midi line and R is its 5 mm soft counterpart; C, M and A are all 2.6 mm minis, with C and M hard and A soft. Two beads can share a color name across those letters and still be the wrong purchase, because size decides which pegboard fits and material decides how the finished piece flexes. Choose the physical line first, then compare codes inside it.

Artkal beads S and R are nominally 5 mm, the same size class as Perler Regular and Hama Midi, while C, M and A are 2.6 mm and line up with Perler Mini. A shared size class usually means the pegboard fits; it does not promise identical melt timing, wall thickness or fused color. Fuse a small test sample before mixing brands inside one piece, and read every cross-brand suggestion on this site as a calculated candidate rather than a manufacturer-certified equivalent.

S, C and M are the current Artkal beads lines and carry the identities the official shop still lists. A and R are kept here as historical references: their color values stay useful for reading older patterns and inventory lists, but availability is uncertain and worth confirming with the seller first. A historical catalog state describes the manufacturer listing rather than every bag in circulation, so resellers often still have stock after a line leaves the official catalog.

Artkal reuses a pigment across lines, so Horizon Blue exists as S141, C140 and A140: one screen value, three different physical products. The screen color matcher above groups those into a single row and lists every line that carries it, which stops a top result from being three copies of one answer. The code you finally order still has to match the size and material you already settled on.
