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 seascape reduced to its values: foam, drift, slate, and storm are the same overcast blue-gray from spray-white down to deep water. Buoy red-orange is the lone warm signal, and like an actual buoy it is legible from anywhere in the composition because nothing else competes on saturation. The wide gray range makes it unusually good for illustration, where atmosphere is built from tonal layering.

Built around Slate Gray.
