Could you build this?
Partial Color distance algorithms (e.g., CIEDE2000) are straightforward, but maintaining active catalog scrapers and price matching across fragmented tabletop hobby retail stores requires continuous maintenance.
What it would actually take: A web platform built with a color matching library (converting Hex/RGB to Lab and calculating delta-E against a standardized miniature paint database like Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter), coupled with scheduled scrapers and affiliate API connectors across niche tabletop hobby stores. The difficult part is building continuous product-matching fuzzy logic and un-bannable scrapers across dozens of e-commerce storefronts.
