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

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.
