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
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.
