Bead tools
COCO Bead Pattern Generator
Use this page when your supplies use the COCO 291 colour-code system. Bitbead maps photos and pixel art to the COCO palette so the generated list is practical for Chinese small-bead buying and sorting workflows.
What you get
COCO 291 palette
The generator can match against 291 COCO colour codes and keep those labels in the material list.
Mini-bead workflow
COCO is treated as a 2.6mm small-bead palette for high-detail pendants, charms and compact artwork.
Printable sorting list
Export charts with COCO codes, exact bead counts and a per-colour shopping list for replenishment.

Quick answers
Is COCO still a real bead colour system?
Yes. It appears in Chinese bead colour-code references and current retail listings, usually alongside MARD-style 291-colour small-bead supplies.
Can I switch a MARD pattern to COCO?
Yes. Regenerate the pattern with COCO 291 selected so the colour matching and exported material list use COCO codes.
