Load a mosaic SVG, choose actual Minwax stain names from the built-in 241-color library, and automatically assign those stains so adjacent pieces never use the same stain. The sorting guide groups tile numbers by stain so the cut pieces can be organized into staining stacks. Everything runs locally in your browser.
1. Load Mosaic SVG
You can also drag an SVG onto this box. SVGs from the Traditional Mosaic, Symmetric Slice, and Shattered Mosaic generators are supported.
2. Build Minwax Stain Palette
Select at least 3 stains; 4 is the safest choice for complex mosaics. Search by stain name or Minwax code and add as many stains as you want.
Preview-color note: the stain names and Minwax codes come from the official Minwax color guide.
The on-screen HEX swatches are planning approximations so the mosaic can be visualized digitally—not manufacturer color specifications.
Minwax notes that final stain appearance varies with wood species and product technology, so test stains on your actual project wood.

Change this to get a different valid color arrangement without changing the mosaic.
Uses the same left-to-right numbering order as the generators.
