Every choice explained.

Tap to copy + paint · drag to place

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

Mauve and moss are near-complements — red-violet and yellow-green — but both are so heavily grayed that the opposition reads as quiet tension instead of contrast, like dried flowers against eucalyptus. Petal gives mauve a lighter register for backgrounds, ivory keeps the whole thing warm, and graphite's violet undertone ties the dark back to the anchor. A florist's palette, equally at home on a wall or an invitation suite.

Built around Mauve.
