This page answers one question: which code is the Artkal bead in my hand? Each row is one code, with a screen swatch and its hex value. Sorting beads by code beats sorting by color name — the same light blue drifts by several codes across brands, and even across batches.
Only colors that really map to Artkal are listed: if Artkal has the color, its code appears; if it does not, no code is invented. The table doubles as a list of which colors this site supports for Artkal.

How the codes read
Codes keep the spelling used on the Artkal chart, such as S01 · S02 · S03, with nothing translated or renumbered. Take this table to a shop and match it against the box, or work the other way round and look a color up here by its code.
What happens to colors Artkal does not make
The palette here holds 291 colors and Artkal covers 118 of them. Choose Artkal as the palette in the convert dialog and the conversion only uses those 118 colors; anything the pattern used that Artkal lacks is replaced by the closest Artkal code. Pick Artkal again as the color scheme in the export dialog so the legend prints that brand's codes.
Three steps to a Artkal pattern
1
Lock the color range
Tick Artkal in the editor's color picker, or select the whole brand in one click; then choose Artkal as the palette in the convert dialog. With the range set, the conversion cannot hand you beads you cannot buy.
2
Convert the image
Upload a photo, drawing or pixel art and set the grid for your finished size, one cell per bead. Each cell is matched to the nearest color in range.
3
Check colors and export
Cross-check the bead count per color against the chart above, pick Artkal as the color scheme in the export dialog so the legend prints those codes, then export; for printing choose PDF (a Pro feature, free users can print the PNG grid).
Questions
Are these the official Artkal codes?
Yes. Codes follow the chart's spelling (for example S01 · S02 · S03) with no translation or renaming; hex values come from the open-source beadcolors project (MIT), averaged from photos of real beads, so they look different on screen — trust the physical beads.
My pattern uses another brand — can I switch it to Artkal?
Yes. Set the color range to Artkal in the editor and choose Artkal as the palette in the convert dialog, then convert again; every color lands on the nearest Artkal code. The color count may drop, because Artkal has fewer codes than the full palette.
Why does Artkal list fewer colors than other brands?
Because this site only lists colors that map to the Artkal chart, not the brand's complete chart: Artkal covers 118 of the 291 colors in the palette.
Is one cell one bead, and how big is the result?
One cell, one bead. Finished size follows bead diameter: 5 mm midi beads take 5 mm per cell, 2.6 mm mini beads take 2.6 mm per cell, and the pattern itself stays the same.
Can I print this color chart?
Yes — print this page from the browser. If you want the pattern on paper too, export a PDF from the editor (Pro feature): it carries the grid, the code list and the bead count per color.
