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

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.
