Orange and purple, with something dark between them
Orange and purple are the two colours everyone reads as Halloween, and side by side they can be a lot. Midnight and ghost white sit between them, so each bright colour has room. Halloween is on a Saturday this year (31 October), which leaves the whole week before it for getting ready.
Your week in trick or treat
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.
The week before Halloween
- Monday: decide the costume. Deciding is the hard part.
- Wednesday: buy the sweets, and hide them.
- Thursday: carve the pumpkin.
- Friday: one scary film, lights off.
- Saturday: keep the evening clear.
