Tap any color — in a photo, or picked by hand — and get a mix from Golden Heavy Body tubes only: measurable parts, a predicted swatch, and the honest distance between them.

The target: an olive sampled from a landscape photo. Below, Golden’s own MXR and this engine, both restricted to Golden’s own catalog, August 2026.
Methodology, honestly: both figures are each model's own predicted CIE Lab distance for its recipe, not a spectrophotometer reading of dried paint. A ΔE near 1 is barely perceptible; a ΔE of 8 is a visibly different color. Four-tube ratios like 1 : 6 : 12 : 14 are also hard to measure on a palette; this engine prefers fewer tubes in round parts.
Everything visual on this page — name, palette, typefaces — is a token, and the engine already speaks your catalog: every recipe above came from Golden · acrylic · 74 tubes, nothing else. A branded version is a config block and an afternoon, not a project.
