Tall grass: a Pokémon-inspired colour palette for your planner

Tall grass: a planner colour palette inspired by Pokémon, with hex codes. Water blue, grass green, electric yellow and fire orange.

Water blue, grass green, electric yellow and fire orange. Choosing a starter is hard, so this palette takes all three and adds a spark. It’s named for the place every journey begins.

A fan-made palette. Anser isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of Pokémon.

Where each colour goes

ColourHexUse it for
Work (water)#4A90D9Work blocks, in the calm one
Health (grass)#5DAA4FWalks, movement and time outside
Personal (electric)#F7D02CFriends and fun, the brightest spot of the week
Goals (fire)#F08030Your goals, the one with drive
Accent (night route)#2E3A59Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (pale sky)#EFF6FFA light wash over your protected time

One type for each category

Four types, four categories. Water is the calm one, so it takes Work, the colour you’ll see most. Grass is Health, for obvious reasons. Electric yellow is Personal, because that’s where the fun is. Fire goes on Goals.

The fire here is a true orange. Anser keeps one coral for protected time and won’t take a red-orange that sits too close to it.

Your week in tall grass

A week in Anser in the tall grass palette, in the Hand-drawn style, with its six hex codes
The week in the picture uses Anser’s Hand-drawn style (Settings › Appearance › Style), which draws each event as a pale marker wash of its colour inside an ink line. The palette works in every style.

Train a little every day

  • Short sessions beat one long grind. Twenty minutes a day adds up.
  • Rest heals. A night off is part of the plan.
  • Walk more. It’s how eggs hatch, and it’s good for you too.
  • One badge at a time. Pick the next goal, not all eight.
