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

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.
