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

Canyon orange against dusty sky blue is the complementary contrast of actual desert horizons, and hazing the blue keeps the pairing atmospheric instead of sporty. Sand and cloud form a warm two-step ground that belongs to the orange family, so the palette stays sun-baked even where the accent is absent. Use canyon for the mark and headlines, sky for secondary moments, espresso for body text.

Built around Burnt Orange.
