Where do these equivalents come from?

Neither Hama nor Mard publishes a table from one to the other: each equivalent is the Mard bead whose screen color is closest, measured with the ΔE2000 difference.

The other 92 get the Mard bead closest on screen. 54 of the 92 equivalents have a difference below 5, which is very close. The Stixiva workshop makes the same choice when you switch a whole pattern from Hama to Mard.

Sources: Hama Hama Midi range from the maker’s page; screen colors from beadcolors (MIT).

Before you switch from Hama to Mard.

Another question? Write to contact@stixiva.com.

Is the Hama to Mard conversion exact?

No: two brands never have exactly the same shades. Neither brand publishes a table to the other, so we give the Mard bead closest on screen, with the ΔE2000 difference (below 2 is barely visible; above 10 the difference shows).

How do I convert a whole list of Hama beads to Mard?

Search this chart one number at a time. In the Stixiva workshop, « Changer de marque » (change brand) converts every bead of a pattern from Hama to Mard at once. The Stixiva workshop itself is in French for now; the English interface is on its way.

Are the colors on screen accurate?

They are approximate display colors. Always compare with a real bead before buying, especially for a large background.

Switch a whole pattern to Mard

In the workshop, one click converts every bead of a pattern from Hama to Mard and updates the shopping list.
