Evergreen & red colour palette: classic Christmas hex codes for your planner

Evergreen, cranberry red, gold and snow. This is the classic one: a tree, a ribbon, a star and a white morning.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (evergreen)	#1E4D2B	Work blocks, in a deep evergreen
Health (cranberry red)	#7A1F2B	Winter walks, in cranberry red
Personal (gold)	#C9A227	The bright one: gold for parties and people
Goals (snow)	#F5EFE0	What you want done before the year ends, in snow white
Accent (cranberry red)	#7A1F2B	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (snow)	#F5EFE0	A soft wash over your protected time

Red and green, done properly

Red and green are opposites, which is why Christmas looks the way it does. Both are deep here, more velvet than tinsel, so they sit together without clashing. Gold is the highlight. Christmas Day is a Friday this year, so the week before is a full working week for most people: worth planning.

Your week in evergreen & 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.

The week before Christmas

• Monday: last orders. Check the delivery dates.
• Tuesday: wrap everything in one go.
• Wednesday: the food shop, early.
• Thursday: finish work on time, and mean it.
• Friday: nothing on the calendar but the day.

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:
