Pumpkin pie colour palette: Thanksgiving hex codes for your planner

Pumpkin, nutmeg, pie crust and whipped cream. One slice of pie, from the filling to the cream on top.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (pumpkin)	#C2611A	Work blocks, in a warm pumpkin
Health (nutmeg)	#7A3E12	Walks and winter air, in a dark nutmeg
Personal (pie crust)	#E3B26A	Family, guests and baking, in a golden pie crust
Goals (whipped cream)	#FBF0DC	What you want done before the year ends, in whipped-cream white
Accent (nutmeg)	#7A3E12	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (whipped cream)	#FBF0DC	A soft wash over your protected time

A dessert, in the order you eat it

These four are the layers of one slice: the cream, the crust, the filling and the spice. Because they all come from the same warm family, a full week in them looks calm. Pumpkin is the brightest, so it goes on Work, where you’ll see it most. In the US, Thanksgiving is Thursday 26 November this year.

Your week in pumpkin pie

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.

The week of the pie

• Sunday: buy the pumpkin, or the tin. Nobody will know.
• Tuesday: make the pastry. It likes a night in the fridge.
• Wednesday: bake the pie. It’s better on day two.
• Thursday: whip the cream at the last minute.
• Friday: pie for breakfast. It’s allowed.
