About the Scratch Paper template
Scratch Paper hides a cosmic surprise beneath its dark surface—pure black coating a hidden palette, scratched away to reveal purple electricity. Suited to playful startups, creative tools, or youth-focused platforms that reward curiosity, it invites users to uncover your story. See the spark of discovery in real-time analytics as each signup reveals what they've uncovered.
What the demo shows
The live demo on this page launches Scratchpad Art, a made-up product we wrote to show the template with realistic copy: the headline reads “Scratch off a masterpiece.” and the subhead says “Rainbow scratch-art sheets and guides for all ages. Scrape through black to reveal the color underneath.” Below it you see the signup form, a demo launch countdown and the share-to-climb referral panel exactly as a visitor would. Try the form: in the demo nothing is stored. When you use Scratch Paper, you replace Scratchpad Art with your own product name, headline, subhead and logo; the palette and motion come with it and every colour stays editable.
Design details
Scratch Paper is a dark template: a near-black background (#0a0a0a), white type (#fafafa) and a violet accent (#a855f7) on the join button, the countdown and the referral highlights. Body text sits at a 19:1 contrast ratio against the background, comfortably past the WCAG AAA threshold. Behind the copy the page animates with an iridescent sheen that shifts hue, front and centre; visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a still frame instead. Structurally it uses the Bold layout, shared with 59 other templates, but the palette, the motion and the demo copy are Scratch Paper's own.

How it compares
Within Playful, Scratch Paper stands out for its violet accent on a near-black ground. If it is not quite right, Glitter Glue flips to a light pink-tinted white canvas with a violet accent and scattered sparkles (“Plastic tube sparkle”). Marker Set flips to a light white canvas with a red accent and ink blooming through water (“Rainbow caps, fresh ink”). Crayon Box flips to a light white canvas with a red accent and hand-drawn doodles (“64-pack, sharpener”). All of them share the same signup, referral and analytics features, so switching later only changes the look.
