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

Periwinkle, lilac and rose are neighbors on the wheel — blue-violet drifting into pink — so the palette reads as one continuous dusk gradient rather than three separate pastels. Their matched chalky saturation is the glue; nothing is brighter than anything else. Twilight, a grayed navy-violet, supplies the darkness this kind of scheme usually lacks, keeping stationery text elegant instead of washed out.

Built around Periwinkle.
