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

Taupe's split gray-brown personality lets it shake hands with both sides of this palette: its gray half welcomes the deep teal, its brown half welcomes the umber. Teal is the single cool, saturated note, and setting it against three warm neutrals makes it read as considered rather than corporate. Dove and shell layer two lighter warm steps above the anchor, giving interfaces plenty of quiet surface area.

Built around Taupe.
