Honest
Every choice explained.
How the preview picks colors: the lightest swatch becomes the page background, the darkest becomes the text, and the most vivid becomes the button. To override: tap a chip to arm it, then click any outlined part of the mockup to paint (or drag the chip there). Your arrangement is saved into this page's URL, so copying the link shares it.
Why it works
Mustard, walnut and rust are the seventies triad, but keyed to parchment instead of white they read archival rather than kitsch. Every hue shares a brown undertone, so the palette holds together at any ratio — a forgiving quality that suits illustration and editorial spot color.
Built around Mustard Yellow.
