Plum noir colour palette: moody hex codes for your planner

Deep plum, mauve and a walnut brown. Pinterest named Plum Noir one of its five colours for 2026, and this palette is built around it.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (plum)	#6B3A55	Work blocks, in the colour the palette is named for
Health (mauve)	#A8748F	Movement, sleep and looking after yourself
Personal (petal)	#E5CBD6	Dinners, films and evenings out
Goals (walnut)	#8C5A3C	The one warm colour, for your goals
Accent (plum noir)	#351E28	Buttons, today’s date and highlights. This is Pinterest’s exact shade
Protected time (blush mist)	#F3E9ED	A pale wash over your protected time

A dark palette on a light page

The accent is Pinterest’s own Plum Noir, #351E28. The rest step up from it towards pink, with one walnut brown so your goals don’t get lost.

A note on what you’ll see: Anser draws events as soft tints of your colours, so the plum on your week is gentler than the swatch. For stronger colour, open Settings › Appearance › Colours › How categories look and choose Bold. Bold deepens or lightens a colour where its text needs it to stay readable. (The Hand-drawn style always uses its own marker wash.)

Your week in plum noir

What a moody palette is good for

• Long focus blocks. Deep colours make a full day look settled, not crowded.
• Evenings you mean to keep. The blush wash shows where the working day ends.
• Autumn without the orange. Not everyone wants a pumpkin on their calendar.
