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
A Victorian parlor scheme from mauve's own heyday: mauve wallpaper, rose upholstery, taupe plaster and wine drapery. Mauve, rose and wine are one red-violet lineage at three depths, so they nest naturally, while taupe adds the grayed warmth that keeps the pinks from turning saccharine. Wine doubles as the text dark, richer and more period-correct than black would be.
Built around Mauve.
