ClearColor Balance XL is the balanced edition, designed to combine Nova Anime XL character and composition behavior with Nova Orange XL color depth and detailed skin in measured proportions.

[Recipe] 0.60 x Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.40 x Nova Orange XL REX v1.0. Weighted merge applied to the UNet only. VAE and text encoders are inherited from Nova Anime XL.

[Series] The ClearColor series uses the same two parent checkpoints and four explicit ratios so users can choose the amount of Orange color and depth influence instead of downloading an undocumented remix.

[Recommended settings] Start with Euler a, 24 steps, CFG 5.0, 832x1216. Danbooru-style tags are recommended. These are the exact baseline settings used for the comparison samples.

[Known limitations] Parent-model priors remain. In the baseline outdoor test, Nova and the four merges retained a strong magenta cast and did not reliably follow the requested male gender. Use explicit gender, appearance and palette tags, and test multi-subject compositions before production use.
