Rust & denim colour palette: orange and blue hex codes for your planner
Rust and denim, with amber and linen. It’s your favourite jeans and an old orange jumper: relaxed, a bit worn in, and easy to live with.

Orange and blue, the easy pair
Orange and blue sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, so each makes the other look better. Both are toned down here, which keeps the contrast friendly. Two warm colours fill the working day, and the one blue marks your own time.
