Diamond goes on your goals
Three of these colours are plain on purpose: green, brown and grey, the blocks you see most. That’s what makes the diamond blue work. In a week of earthy colours, the one bright block is the first thing you notice, so it goes on Goals, the category that’s easiest to bury.
