Fucking Weeaboo
Nice. Loving those pendant perlers!
The colors look good to me.
Sometimes it's impossible to get beads of the exact color you want, so you have to use your best judgement sometimes. As for ironing, make sure you're using ironing paper so the beads don't melt to the iron. You can get ironing paper at pretty much any hobby store. Also, make sure the iron is not set on steam. I have mine set to 3 out of a possible 10 because that's the highest I can have it without steam. I melt mine as much as I can at least to the point where they're going to stay together, but not too much so the colors don't bleed. I like to keep the holes somewhat visible, and I don't press down really hard. You want to put enough pressure so it'll melt the beads, but not too much, otherwise the design will become too flat.
There's a seller that I buy all my beads from and she has just about every color you can think of, and they're really cheap.
Here's the link to her Ebay shop: [Link]
If you plan on making a lot, I recommend ordering 10,000 beads because the shipping is cheaper and you can order up to 10 different colors, but you can also get individual colors in 1000 packs.
As for colors, there are so many colors that it's hard to keep track of which ones you need, so I use this: [Link]
That has most of the main colors you'll need. The names are hard to read so you might need to zoom it in yourself. If you need a color with a strange name (say, cheddar), you'll find that color with that name in the shop that I listed. Those are the official names, as bizarre as it is.
Another thing I use if I'm not sure which colors to use on a sprite is this site that converts sprites to bead colors. It's not 100% accurate and will change some colors to colors that aren't exactly similar, but it helps on some occasions and tells you how many beads the design will take. Here's the link: [Link]
Hope all that helps!
