No reliable way to match a specific on-screen bead color to a physical bead available across brands and stores

Summary
Crafters get intensely frustrated trying to find a physical bead whose color matches a specific shade they need (e.g., 'peanut butter'), only to discover they cannot rely on their existing brand's palette and must hunt across competing brands and physical stores. They must guess which brands are safely melt-compatible and which colors are actually stocked locally, with no clear cross-brand color equivalence or availability information. The user's exasperation ('fuck you, hobby lobby') shows real disruption: a single missing shade can stall a project. This is unsolved — screen colors rarely map accurately to real Perler/Hama/Artkal/Nabbi beads, there is no trusted cross-brand color-mapping resource, and no tool tells you which local/online store has the closest in-stock match. A pattern tool that maps its on-screen palette to real, purchasable, brand-compatible bead colors (with availability guidance) would save crafters significant time, money, and rework.
