Try mixing it . . .
When all else fails (as it often does for me), I try mixing it, and an successful more often than not.
Some years ago, I ran into a book by Jose Parramon (The Big Book Of Oil Color), in which he shows how to mix every color using nothing more than Prussian blue, cad yellow medium, alizarin crimson, and white.
Yes, some of them are a bit brighter/duller than a tube color, but it's certainly amazing what you can mix with these three colors and white.
I still buy my palette colors, of course, but in a pinch, thanks to Jose, I'm not afraid to mix away, and usually, I get the color I want in a short time.
By the way, if you're mixing a lot of your favorite color, you used to be able to buy empty tubes from Daniel Smith.
