Thanksgiving table colour palette: warm harvest hex codes for your planner

Chestnut, pumpkin, squash and sage: everything on the Thanksgiving table. It’s a warm palette for a week that’s mostly about food and people.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (chestnut)	#7A2E1D	Work blocks, and the cooking if you’re hosting
Health (pumpkin)	#C2571A	The bright one, for walks and anything outdoors
Personal (squash)	#E0A458	Family, guests and travel
Goals (sage)	#5B6B3A	What you want done before the year ends, in the one green
Accent (chestnut)	#7A2E1D	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (cream)	#F8EAD8	A soft wash over your protected time

Three warm colours and a sprig of sage

Chestnut, pumpkin and squash are all warm, so they sit together like dishes on one table. Sage is the only cool colour, and that makes it easy to find. In the US, Thanksgiving is Thursday 26 November this year. In Canada it falls on Monday 12 October.

Your week in Thanksgiving table

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.

Thanksgiving week, spread out

• The Saturday before: shop for everything that keeps.
• Monday: check who’s bringing what.
• Tuesday: make anything that’s better after a day in the fridge.
• Wednesday: chop, and set the table.
• Thursday: cook, eat, and walk afterwards.
• Friday: nothing. Leave it empty.
