Jewel tones colour palette: rich hex codes for your planner

Emerald, amethyst, sapphire and topaz. Four gemstones, each a different colour and all of them deep. It’s the richest palette we’ve made.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (emerald)	#0B5D4E	Work blocks, in a deep emerald
Health (amethyst)	#6A1B4D	Movement and rest, in amethyst
Personal (sapphire)	#1F3A93	Evenings and people, in sapphire
Goals (topaz)	#D4A017	The bright one: topaz for your goals
Accent (amethyst)	#6A1B4D	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (pale gold)	#F5E9C8	A soft wash over your protected time

Four different colours that still match

Green, purple, blue and gold have nothing in common except their depth, and that’s the trick. Jewel tones are all dark and saturated to the same degree, so four different colours look like a set. Topaz is the lightest, so it goes on Goals, where you want your eye to land.

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.
