BeadWanWhere the C-series colors come from
The ARTKAL C palette uses the numbered RGB labels in ARTKAL's official original C-series chart. Specialty CT, CG, CP and CE finishes are excluded from this regular-color palette. The chart source is linked below so you can check the manufacturer information.
Codes are not interchangeable between brands
C01 refers to a specific ARTKAL C-series entry, not a universal bead color. MARD, Perler, Hama and older ARTKAL palettes use different code systems. Existing work retains its saved palette; selecting another brand is not proof that the physical colors are equivalent.
Check size before color
The Web default C-series palette is for 2.6 mm beads. A 5 mm purchase is not a direct substitute for a 2.6 mm pattern setup. Confirm the series, bead diameter and compatible pegboard before choosing individual colors.
A practical shopping check
- Match brand, series and bead size to the saved pattern.
- Keep zero-padded codes such as C01 intact.
- Subtract the beads you already have from the material list.
- On the store page, select and verify the actual color; a product-group link may not preselect it.
- Check the seller's pack size, stock and delivery details.

Common questions
Why do real beads differ from my screen?
Display calibration, lighting and the material itself affect appearance. Check a physical sample or manufacturer chart when close color matching matters.
Are material links independent recommendations?
Some material links are affiliate links. BeadWan may earn a commission if you purchase through them. The store sets prices, stock, shipping and returns.
