This page answers one question: which code is the Hama 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 Hama are listed: if Hama 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 Hama.

How the codes read
Codes keep the spelling used on the Hama chart, such as H01 · H02 · H03, 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 Hama does not make
The palette here holds 291 colors and Hama covers 77 of them. Choose Hama as the palette in the convert dialog and the conversion only uses those 77 colors; anything the pattern used that Hama lacks is replaced by the closest Hama code. Pick Hama again as the color scheme in the export dialog so the legend prints that brand's codes.
Three steps to a Hama pattern
1
Lock the color range
Tick Hama in the editor's color picker, or select the whole brand in one click; then choose Hama 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 Hama 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 Hama codes?
Yes. Codes follow the chart's spelling (for example H01 · H02 · H03) 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 Hama?
Yes. Set the color range to Hama in the editor and choose Hama as the palette in the convert dialog, then convert again; every color lands on the nearest Hama code. The color count may drop, because Hama has fewer codes than the full palette.
Why does Hama list fewer colors than other brands?
Because this site only lists colors that map to the Hama chart, not the brand's complete chart: Hama covers 77 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.
