Strawberry shortcake colour palette: soft pink hex codes for your planner

Berry pink, frosting, sponge and whipped cream. A slice of cake in four colours, and the softest palette of the six.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (berry)	#D9537A	Work blocks, in a bright berry pink
Health (frosting)	#F7CAD3	Looking after yourself, in a pale frosting pink
Personal (sponge)	#F1DDB3	Friends, baking and weekends, in a golden sponge
Goals (whipped cream)	#FFF8F1	Your goals, in whipped-cream white
Accent (deep berry)	#8A344D	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (whipped cream)	#FFF8F1	A soft wash over your protected time

One bright pink and three soft colours

Berry pink is the only strong colour here, so it does the work: it’s on Work, and it keeps the rest from fading out. Frosting, sponge and cream are all pale and warm, which is what makes the week look like something from a bakery window.

Your week in strawberry shortcake

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 week with cake in it

• Bake something on a weeknight. A box mix counts.
• Take a slice to someone.
• Tea at four. Sitting down.
• Leave Sunday afternoon empty.

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.
2. Open Settings › Appearance › Colours and tap Save as my palette, so you can switch back any time.
3. Still in Colours, under Accent, choose Your own and paste the accent.
4. Open Settings › Boundaries › How protected time looks, choose Your own and paste the protected time colour. It also colours your Deep Focus time.
