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
Seafoam and aqua are adjacent cool pastels that blend into a single watery field, exactly the ambiguity of looking into a tidepool. Coral is the starfish in that pool: a warm accent that is seafoam's near-complement, saturated a step above everything else so it pulls focus instantly. Ink, a blue-gray rather than black, keeps linework and captions in the same cool morning light.
Built around Seafoam.
