New notebook colour palette: navy and kraft hex codes for your planner

Ink, a ruled line, a kraft cover and a clean page. The colours of a notebook you haven’t written in yet.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (ink)	#1F3A5F	Work blocks, in a dark ink navy
Health (ruled line)	#9DB7D5	Movement and rest, in a pale ruled-line blue
Personal (kraft)	#C8A97E	Evenings and people, in a warm kraft brown
Goals (page)	#FBF8F1	Your goals, on a clean page white
Accent (ink)	#1F3A5F	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (page)	#FBF8F1	A soft wash over your protected time

Stationery colours

Navy ink on a cream page is the most readable pair there is, which is why notebooks look the way they do. Kraft brown is the cover: the one warm colour. It’s on Personal, so your own time is the part of the week you can pick up and hold.

Your week in new notebook

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 first-page week

• Write the date at the top. That’s the hardest line.
• One page a day. A list counts.
• Use the good pen.
• Don’t tear out a page. Cross it out and carry on.

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.
