Mocha & cream colour palette: coffee brown hex codes for your planner

Espresso, mocha, latte and cream: one coffee order, from the darkest shot to the foam. Every colour is a brown, so the week reads as one calm thing.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (espresso)	#4B3425	Work blocks, in the darkest roast
Health (mocha)	#8B5E3C	Walks, meals and an early night
Personal (latte)	#D2B48C	Friends, calls and slow weekends
Goals (cream)	#F5EBDD	Your goals, in a pale cream that stays out of the way
Accent (espresso)	#4B3425	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (cream)	#F5EBDD	A soft wash over your protected time

One colour, four strengths

This is a single-colour palette: every shade is a brown, only lighter or darker. That’s why it looks so tidy. You tell your categories apart by depth, not by colour, so the two you use most sit far apart: Work is the espresso and Personal is the latte.

Your week in mocha & cream

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 week that starts with coffee

• Drink the first cup sitting down. Not at the desk.
• One coffee with a friend. Put it on the calendar so it happens.
• No caffeine after two. Your evening will thank you.
• Saturday morning, slowly. A pastry counts as a plan.

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:

1. In Anser, open Settings › Categories. Tap the colour next to Work and paste its hex code. Do the same for Health, Personal and Goals.
2. Open Settings › Appearance › Colours and tap Save as my palette, so you can switch back any time.
3. Still in Colours, under Accent, choose Your own and paste the accent.
4. Open Settings › Boundaries › How protected time looks, choose Your own and paste the protected time colour. It also colours your Deep Focus time.

Changed your mind? Your saved palettes are under See all in Settings › Appearance › Colours.
