Dusty rose colour palette: soft pink and mauve hex codes for your planner

Dusty rose, mauve, plum grey and a pale petal pink. It’s pink with the sweetness turned down, which is why it works on a working week.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (dusty rose)	#D4A5A5	Work blocks, in a soft rose that never shouts
Health (mauve)	#B5838D	Looking after yourself, in a deeper mauve
Personal (plum grey)	#6D5D6E	Evenings and people, in a quiet plum grey
Goals (petal)	#F4E4E1	Your goals, in the palest pink
Accent (deep plum)	#514552	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (petal)	#F4E4E1	A soft wash over your protected time

Pink, but with some grey in it

Every colour here has a little grey mixed in. That’s what “dusty” means, and it’s why four pinks and purples can sit together without looking like a sweet shop. The plum grey is the anchor: it gives the softer colours something to lean on.

Your week in dusty rose

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 soft week, on purpose

• One early night. Pick it now, not on the day.
• Fresh flowers, or a walk past some.
• Write to someone you miss. Two lines is enough.
• An hour with a book and your phone in another room.
