Every choice explained.

Tap to copy + paint · drag to place

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

Modeled on Dutch blue-and-white pottery, this is a monochromatic study: cobalt, glaze, rim and porcelain are the same hue stepped through four values, which is why it cannot fall out of harmony. The charm comes entirely from value contrast — crisp cobalt strokes on porcelain — just as it does on the ceramics. Midnight is there for text and for grounding large cobalt fields.

Built around Cobalt Blue.
