Cherry red colour palette: deep red hex codes for your planner

Black cherry, cherry red, a bright cherry pink and cream. It’s a bold palette: dark, glossy and a little dressed up.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (black cherry)	#5C0A14	Work blocks, in the darkest cherry
Health (cherry red)	#8A1226	Workouts and walks, in a true cherry red
Personal (cherry pink)	#D8506E	The bright one, for dinners and nights out
Goals (cream)	#F6E7D8	Your goals, in a soft cream
Accent (black cherry)	#5C0A14	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (cream)	#F6E7D8	A soft wash over your protected time

Three reds that don’t fight

These reds all lean the same way, towards wine, so they sit together like shades of one colour. The darkest two carry most of the week and the pink is the highlight. Cream keeps it from getting heavy. On your week, Anser draws events as soft tints by default; the picture uses the Bold look so the reds stay deep.

Your week in cherry red

The week at the top of this post is a real week in Anser, in the Summer Picnic style with the Bold look for categories, so every event shows its full colour. To get the same look, open Settings › Appearance › Colours › How categories look and choose Bold. The palette works in every style.

A week with a bit of polish

• Wear the good thing on an ordinary day.
• Book one dinner out. Or cook as if you had.
• Finish the task you’ve been circling. First thing, one morning.
• Red lipstick optional. The early night isn’t.
