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

How the codes read
Codes keep the spelling used on the Nabbi chart, such as N01 · N02 · N03, 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 Nabbi does not make
The palette here holds 291 colors and Nabbi covers 30 of them. Choose Nabbi as the palette in the convert dialog and the conversion only uses those 30 colors; anything the pattern used that Nabbi lacks is replaced by the closest Nabbi code. Pick Nabbi again as the color scheme in the export dialog so the legend prints that brand's codes.
Three steps to a Nabbi pattern
1
Lock the color range
Tick Nabbi in the editor's color picker, or select the whole brand in one click; then choose Nabbi 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 Nabbi 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 Nabbi codes?
Yes. Codes follow the chart's spelling (for example N01 · N02 · N03) 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 Nabbi?
Yes. Set the color range to Nabbi in the editor and choose Nabbi as the palette in the convert dialog, then convert again; every color lands on the nearest Nabbi code. The color count may drop, because Nabbi has fewer codes than the full palette.
Why does Nabbi list fewer colors than other brands?
Because this site only lists colors that map to the Nabbi chart, not the brand's complete chart: Nabbi covers 30 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.
