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. 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
Indigo ink on parchment is the palette of old libraries, and sepia and gold are its natural companions — the browns of leather bindings and the glint of gilt edges. Warm parchment prevents the deep indigo from feeling cold, while gold provides the only true accent and earns its keep at small scale: rules, initials, foil details. Midnight deepens the violet register for backgrounds and long-form text.
Built around Indigo.
