Matched to real Hama colors

Hama is the European fuse-bead standard (Hama midi is the same 5mm size as Perler). The generator maps every cell to the nearest real Hama color in perceptual Lab space, so the printed chart uses codes you can actually buy. Switch the Color System dropdown any time to compare against Perler or Artkal.

Shopping list included

Each pattern comes with a per-color Hama bead count and a printable PDF (cover + shopping list + paginated chart), so you order the right colors once.

FAQ

Are Hama and Perler beads the same size?

Hama midi and Perler are both 5mm, so a chart works for either — only the color codes differ. This tool outputs real Hama codes.

Is the Hama color chart accurate?

Colors use community-measured RGB values for the standard Hama range. Confirm critical colors against a physical swatch, as screens vary.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser; the image never leaves your device.
