Honest
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. 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
Crimson and ochre gold are old ceremonial partners — both warm, but the gold sits two steps lighter, so they never compete at the same value. Cream rather than pure white keeps the crimson from vibrating, and the muted dust gray gives the eye somewhere to rest between the two saturated notes. Hold crimson to roughly ten percent of the layout and let cream carry the field.
Built around Crimson.
