Perler color chart FAQ
Measurement details, catalog scope, matching thresholds, and the limits of representing physical beads on a screen.
How many Perler colors are included in this chart?
The chart logs 132 official Perler color codes: 124 colors currently sold on perler.com and 8 discontinued colors retained for older patterns and existing bead collections.Source: official Perler bead catalogSource data: beadcolors Perler CSV
How accurate are the on-screen Perler colors?
Screen values are community-measured references from the MIT-licensed beadcolors project, including spectrophotometer measurements of real Perler beads. Actual beads can still vary with monitor calibration, lighting, production batch, and ironing.Source: beadcolors projectMIT license
What does “pixel-ready solid” mean?
A pixel-ready solid is a currently sold, solid-finish bead with a stable measured screen value. There are 95 in this chart. Provisional 2026 colors and specialty finishes are listed separately because their screen values are estimated or cannot be represented by one flat color.Source catalog: official Perler colorsSource data: measured Perler CSV
How does the closest-color finder work?
The finder converts the entered screen color and every measured bead color to CIELAB, then ranks them with the CIEDE2000 perceptual distance formula. A ΔE below 3 reads as the same color, 3–8 is a workable substitute, and above 8 is a fallback.Source paper: CIEDE2000Implementation notes and test data
Why are the 2026 new-color values marked provisional?
Their values are fused from two independent estimates: calibrated official product photography and an independently measured community chart. Estimated error is about ΔE 3.5, so these entries are marked with an asterisk and will be replaced when direct measurements are available.Source: Perler 2026 announcementOfficial new arrivals
Why are specialty finishes excluded from color matching?
Translucent, glow, pearl, metallic, and striped beads change with light, background, and viewing angle. A single HEX value cannot represent those effects reliably, so their official codes remain in the chart but they are excluded from pixel matching.Source: Perler specialty color overview
How is the Perler catalog verified?
The list is checked against perler.com single-color 1,000-count and 6,000-count bags plus new arrivals; mixed bags are excluded. Codes no longer sold are marked discontinued. The catalog was last checked on August 30, 2026.Source catalog: 1,000ct bead bags6,000ct bead bagsNew arrivals
