Match a HEX color to real seed beads

We compare the chosen HEX color with catalog display swatches in CIELAB color space, then show the closest recorded beads. This is a screen-color match, not a guarantee of physical appearance: transparent glass, coatings, lighting, monitors, and dye lots can change what you see. Verify against a real bead or manufacturer sample card before buying.

Use an exact color code as a starting point
If a photo or brand palette contains a pink such as #AA2B5A, pick a similar color and compare the nearest article numbers. Narrow to one manufacturer when you need a consistent bead shape or finish.

Yes. Select Preciosa or search all supported brands to see nearby catalog display colors with their article numbers. Compare actual bead samples before purchasing.

No. HEX describes a flat screen color. Seed beads can be transparent, lined, matte, or iridescent, and their appearance changes in different light. The matcher helps shortlist catalog colors, not certify a physical match.
