Cranberry & sage colour palette: Thanksgiving hex codes for your planner

A Thanksgiving table in six colours: cranberry sauce, sage leaves, a linen cloth and a dusty rose.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (cranberry)	#8C2F39	Work blocks, and the cooking if hosting is your job this year
Health (sage)	#8A9A5B	Walks, including the one after the big meal
Personal (linen)	#E6D5C3	Family time, travel and guests
Goals (dusty rose)	#B56576	What you want done before the year ends
Accent (mulled wine)	#4A2B2F	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (parchment)	#F1EAE0	A quiet wash over the time you keep free

Red and green, without the Christmas

Red and green sit opposite each other, which is why you can tell them apart at a glance. It’s also why they can shout “December”. Both are muted here: the red leans towards wine and the green towards grey, so the pair reads as late autumn. Linen and dusty rose fill the space between them.

Your week in cranberry & sage

Thanksgiving week, spread out

In the US, Thanksgiving is Thursday 26 November this year. In Canada it’s Monday 12 October. Either way, the work fits better across a week than in one day:

• The Saturday before: shop for everything that keeps.
• Monday: check who’s bringing what.
• Tuesday: make the cranberry sauce and anything that’s better after a day in the fridge.
• Wednesday: chop the vegetables and set the table.
• Thursday: cook, eat, and go for a walk afterwards.
• Friday: nothing. Leave it empty.
