Coastal blue colour palette: calm blue hex codes for your planner

Deep sea, harbour blue, sea glass and sand. Three blues and a beach: it’s the calmest palette we’ve made.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (deep sea)	#1F4E6B	Work blocks, in the deepest blue
Health (harbour blue)	#5B8FA8	Walks, swims and sleep, in a softer harbour blue
Personal (sea glass)	#A9CBD6	Time with people, in a pale sea glass
Goals (sand)	#F4EFE6	Your goals, on warm sand
Accent (deep sea)	#1F4E6B	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (sand)	#F4EFE6	A soft wash over your protected time

Three blues, light to dark

Blue is the colour most people find restful, and here it comes in three depths so you can still tell your blocks apart. Sand is the one warm colour. It’s on Goals, so the thing you’re working towards is easy to find among the blues.

Your week in coastal blue

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 at seaside pace

• Start one morning by the water, or by a window.
• Leave gaps between meetings. Ten minutes is a tide’s worth.
• Eat lunch outdoors once.
• Put the phone down an hour before bed.

Make it in Anser

The quickest way: tap Use this palette in Anser on the palette. It opens on your own week, to keep or undo. To set it up by hand:
