Persimmon colour palette: bright orange and teal hex codes for your planner

Bright persimmon orange with one cool teal. It’s the liveliest palette in the fall set, for people who find brown a bit sleepy.

Close to Pinterest’s Persimmon, on purpose not exact

Persimmon is one of Pinterest’s five colours for 2026. Ours is a shade more orange than theirs, and there’s a reason. Anser keeps one coral for protected time, so it always stands out, and it won’t take a category colour that sits too close to it. Pinterest’s exact shade does. This one keeps the same energy and can be typed straight in.

The teal is there because orange and teal are opposites. With three warm colours and one cool one, the block you’ve set aside for your goals is the first thing you see.

Your week in persimmon

Where a bright palette helps

• Grey weeks. When it’s dark by five, a bright calendar is a small lift.
• Busy weeks. Strong colours are quicker to read when the page is full.
• A goal you keep skipping. Teal on orange is hard to miss.
