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. 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
Espresso against marigold is a bee-and-coffee-bean contrast: the near-black brown makes the golden yellow look lit from within, and the yellow returns the favor by making the brown feel rich instead of heavy. Stone is the crucial mediator — a gray-taupe that quiets the middle values so the two stars keep the stage. Bark extends the dark end for text on oat-milk backgrounds, giving the system real front-end utility.
Built around Espresso.
