The cheapest very close lookalikes
One reel for each colour in the table above, as of 6 Oct 2026.
Prices checked 5 Oct, 03:01 – 6 Oct, 09:20 (UK time) and may change.We earn a small commission if you buy. Your price stays the same.
How it works
For each premium colour we take the brand's own Amazon UK and Eryone UK listing and compare every in-stock reel of the same polymer and finish from other brands, using CIEDE2000 (ΔE), the standard measure of how different two colours look. Each tile counts the distinct near-identical and very close reels in stock.
Savings are live: each page compares the lookalikes' price per kilogram with the original's current price. A price far below the rest (often a listing with the wrong weight) is left out of the headline saving, and an original that's out of stock shows no saving at all.

How is the colour match measured?
We compare each listing's colour with the original using CIEDE2000 (ΔE), the industry measure of how different two colours look. Under 2 reads as the same colour to most people, under 5 is very close, and over 10 is a different colour. Colours come from listing data and photos, so check the photos for an exact match.
Will a lookalike print like the original?
We only match the same polymer and finish (matte with matte, silk with silk), but print settings vary between brands. Start from the temperatures on the reel and print a small test first.
Why are only some premium colours listed?
A colour appears once another brand has at least one very close match in stock on Amazon UK and Eryone UK. The list changes as stock and prices move.
