Candy cane colour palette: red and pink Christmas hex codes for your planner

Candy red, peppermint pink, pine and snow. The sweet Christmas palette, for anyone whose tree has pink on it.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (candy red)	#96101C	Work blocks, in a bright candy red
Health (peppermint pink)	#F2B5B5	Walks and winter air, in peppermint pink

Christmas with pink in it

Red, pink and white are the stripes on a candy cane, and pine green is the tree it hangs on. Pink softens the red, so this feels playful where the classic red and green feels formal. Snow white keeps it all from getting too sweet.
