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 is a classic beach triad — cool sky, warm sand, hot coral — held together by the fact that all three share a slightly faded, sun-bleached saturation. Deep-sea teal anchors the light values and keeps type legible, while shell white gives the coral room to pop at small sizes. The gentle desaturation is what makes it read as vintage postcard rather than resort brochure.
Built around Sky Blue.
