I’ve found a perfect place where all the weird color names live and [...]

Many visitors of Array Studio Workshop were more then interested in the Golden Ratio post. Even though I promised more material about it, I couldn’t find enough time to conduct a research. Until now. I don’t intend to bother you with more theory, but rather to show you how to use it in practice.
