Default black magic patina etc

Anybody know if there are any brush-on, rinse-off acid washes for
solder/came etc in colors other than black and copper? Golden maybe?
Greenish aged type? Where to get? Personal observations of use?
TIA, Bob

Due to the fact that patina is a chemical reaction, the chemicals react with
the base metal. The only way to get colors other than those commercially
available, simply, is to change the base metal.

There are other colors, all results depend on how much work you put into the
application. None are "simple".

As mentioned, Jax chemical is the most widely used. In order to get green,
you need the copper plate(not patina) to get those results, along with a
darker brown. Most patinas applied cold are rather fragile, especially when
first applied, and certainly while still wet.

Try those first Bob, then get into some chemistry, there is arather
expensive book out there called the Bronzing and patination of metals, which
mostly covers copper based alloys. ( copper, brass and bronze) plated
srufaces included.
