Three flavours that have always gone together
Brown, pink and cream shouldn’t work, and yet everyone knows this trio at a glance. Chocolate is the darkest, so it’s on Work and holds the week together. Strawberry is the bright stripe. Vanilla and wafer are the calm ones around them.
Your week in Neapolitan
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 three-flavour week
