Perler bead color chart — all 117 colors by number

About Perler beads

Perler is the fuse-bead brand most US stitchers and pixel-art crafters start with, and its midi (5 mm) range is the de facto standard palette — when a pattern names bead colors without naming a brand, it usually means these. This chart covers the 117 colors in the standard midi range with their codes, names, and hex values.

Perler, Hama, and Artkal midi beads are all 5 mm and fit the same pegboards, but their color ranges differ — the Perler, Hama & Artkal conversion chart maps the closest matches between them. Designing something of your own? The fuse bead pattern maker uses this exact palette and counts the beads per color for you.

Hex values are community-matched from bead photos, so treat them as a browsing reference — plastic beads also shift slightly between production runs. New to the craft? Start with what fuse beads are and how to iron them.

Sizing a project in these colors? The pegboard calculator turns bead counts into finished centimeters and boards needed, and the bead sizes and pegboards guide covers what changes between Mini, Midi, and Maxi. The other two palettes have their own charts: Hama (92 colors) and Artkal S (210).
