Strawberries & cream colour palette: red and pink hex codes for your planner

Strawberry red, a creamy pink, cream and one green leaf. A bowl of strawberries on a warm afternoon.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (strawberry)	#C4365A	Work blocks, in a ripe strawberry red
Health (strawberry cream)	#F2A7B8	Walks and workouts, in a soft strawberry cream
Personal (cream)	#FFF5EA	Evenings and people, in cream
Goals (leaf)	#5F8048	Your goals, in leaf green
Accent (deep strawberry)	#A92E4D	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (cream)	#FFF5EA	A soft wash over your protected time

A red that isn’t alarming

Red can feel urgent on a calendar. This one leans towards pink, and it has a pale pink and a cream beside it, so it reads as fruit, not as a warning. The leaf is the only green, which makes your goals the easiest thing to find.

Your week in strawberries & cream

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 summer-afternoon week, any time of year

• Eat one meal outside, or by the open window.
• Buy the fruit that’s in season.
• An afternoon off. Put it on the calendar like a meeting.
• Call someone you’d sit in the garden with.

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.
