Navy & gold colour palette: classic hex codes for your planner
Navy and gold, with a denim blue and a warm ivory. It’s a smart palette: the colours of a blazer with brass buttons.

Where each colour goes
| Colour | Hex | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Work (navy) | #14213D | Work blocks, in a navy that means business |
| Health (denim blue) | #2F4A7A | Movement and rest, in a softer denim blue |
| Personal (gold) | #E0A82E | The bright one: dinners, friends and weekends |
| Goals (ivory) | #F3E9D2 | Long-term plans, kept light in ivory |
| Accent (navy) | #14213D | Buttons, today’s date and highlights |
| Protected time (ivory) | #F3E9D2 | A soft wash over your protected time |
Gold goes on the good part
Blue and gold are near-opposites, so they never blur together. Two blues carry the working day, and the gold is saved for Personal. In a week of navy, the gold blocks are the first thing you see, and they’re the evenings and weekends.
Your week in navy & 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.
A smart, steady week
- Plan Monday on Friday. Ten minutes before you log off.
- One task before email. The important one.
- Dress for one thing this week that isn’t work.
- End on time twice. Write the time down.
