Dream house: a Sims-inspired colour palette for your planner

Dream house: a planner colour palette inspired by The Sims, with hex codes. Plumbob green, pool blue, glass aqua and teal.

Plumbob green, pool blue and a clean aqua. Bright, tidy and a little too organised, like a house built with the money cheat.

A fan-made palette. Anser isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of The Sims.

Where each colour goes

ColourHexUse it for
Work (pool blue)#2C7FC9Work blocks, clean and clear

Blue and green, side by side

Blue, teal and green are neighbours on the colour wheel, which is why this palette looks so tidy: nothing fights. The trade-off is that Work and Goals are close. If you’d like to tell them apart at a glance, swap the plumbob green onto Goals and give Health the teal.

Your week in dream house

A week in Anser in the dream house palette, in the Hand-drawn style, with its six hex codes
The week in the picture uses Anser’s Hand-drawn style (Settings › Appearance › Style), which draws each event as a pale marker wash of its colour inside an ink line. The palette works in every style.

Keep your own needs in the green

  • Hunger. Lunch, away from the desk.
  • Energy. A bedtime, written down.
  • Social. One call or dinner this week.
  • Fun. An hour that isn’t for anything.
