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

Tan leather and worn denim have been paired on workwear for a century, and the color relationship explains why: faded indigo is the natural cool complement to yellow-brown hide, both softened by use to the same low saturation. Saddle and oak deepen the leather story into a full value range, with muslin as the undyed light. Heritage, tool, and apparel brands can run this set almost unmodified.

Built around Tan.
