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
Turquoise against terracotta clay is the signature contrast of the American Southwest — cool stone set in warm adobe — and it endures because the two are near-complements with the desert's sand and bone mediating between them. Umber grounds the scheme the way dark timber grounds a whitewashed room. Turquoise is the only saturated player here, so even generous use of it stays legible against the earthen field.
Built around Turquoise.
