Dark, with something to celebrate
Black and gold is about as strong a contrast as a palette gets. Two dark colours carry the working week and the gold is saved for Personal, so every celebration shows. On your week, Anser draws events as soft tints, so midnight shows as a calm grey; choose Bold in Settings › Appearance › Colours for the full black-and-gold look.
Your week in midnight gold
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 first week of a new year
- Pick one goal. Not five.
- Put its first step on the calendar. A real time, a real day.
- Clear out one drawer.
- Start on Monday, not on the first. It’s kinder.
