How the preview picks colors: the lightest swatch becomes the page background, the darkest becomes the text, and the most vivid becomes the button. Drag a chip onto any part of the mockup to override it — your arrangement is saved into this page's URL, so copying the link shares it.

Why it works

Burnt orange, avocado, and harvest gold are the documented trio of 1970s interiors, and they cohere because all three carry the same yellowed, slightly dirty undertone — nothing here is clean or cool. The values are staged so ember is darkest of the three hues, gold brightest, avocado in between, giving the eye a path around the room. Walnut and cream frame them like wood paneling and shag; keep gold to trim-level doses.

Built around Burnt Orange.
