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
This palette runs the actual gradient of a summer dusk — apricot and honey where the light is, mauve and plum where it fades — so the warm-to-cool transition feels observed rather than arranged. Mauve is the hinge: it contains both apricot's pink and plum's violet, letting the two ends meet without a seam. Plum doubles as the text color, and cream keeps the page from competing with the sky.
Built around Apricot.
