Icy blue colour palette: cool winter hex codes for your planner

Slate blue, steel blue, ice blue and frost. Four blues getting colder and lighter: a clear winter morning.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (slate blue)	#2C4A63	Work blocks, in a deep slate blue
Health (steel blue)	#5E86A8	Movement and fresh air, in steel blue
Personal (ice blue)	#A7C4D9	Evenings and people, in a light ice blue
Goals (frost)	#DCEAF2	Your goals, in the palest frost
Accent (slate blue)	#2C4A63	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (frost)	#DCEAF2	A soft wash over your protected time

Clear and cold, in a good way

This is a single-colour palette: one blue in four strengths. It looks crisp and uncluttered, like fresh snow. Because the colours are close, the darkest goes on Work and the lightest on Goals, so the two are never confused.

Your week in icy 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 clear-headed week

• One thing at a time. Close the other tabs.
• A cold walk, well wrapped up.
• Clear your inbox to zero once.
• Tea, and ten minutes of nothing.
