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
This is a red-on-red scheme with one green counterweight: cherry at full saturation, rosewood as its shadowed twin, and pale blush as the tint that completes the value ladder. Pine green is crimson's near-complement, deep enough to add contrast without brightness competing with the anchor. Use blush as the ground, graphite for type, and reserve cherry for the single lacquered moment.
Built around Crimson.
