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. 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
Against a plum-cast near-black, mid-value plum becomes the glowing center of the palette rather than the dark it usually plays — a velvet-curtain effect. Gold is the jewelry: one warm metallic note that flatters red-violet the way it flatters burgundy. Smoke and powder are both plum-tinted grays, so even the neutrals belong to the scheme. Built for evening invitations and premium packaging.
Built around Plum.
