BROWSE THE COLLECTION

Hey bookish friends! Have you ever looked at a book cover and wished your whole life—or at least your planner—matched those exact colors?

This guide shows you exactly how to extract real palettes from your favorite covers and translate them into 9 gorgeous weekly spreads using washi, stickers, and trackers.

Step 1: Extracting the Magic

To grab perfect color matches, I recommend using free apps like Coolors, Canva, or Adobe Color. Simply snap a photo of your book cover, and the app will generate a palette of 4-6 hex codes. Save these palettes under the book title for easy reference later!

9 Real Book Cover Palettes for Your Planner

1. Funny Story by Emily Henry

The Vibe: Blush pink (#F4C7C3), Soft Cream (#F5F0E1), Muted Peach (#FFD1CC)
Layout: Use blush pink washi across the top for your header. Place a cream circle sticker in the center for a "50 Pages Today" goal, and use peach highlighters for your daily tasks.

2. Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

The Vibe: Dragonfire Red (#B22222), Charcoal Gray (#36454F), Ember Orange (#FF4500)
Layout: Frame your spread with charcoal gray washi. Draw a dragon wing silhouette in the center and track your high-priority "battles" (tasks) along the wing veins in dragonfire red.

3. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

The Vibe: Mocha Brown (#8B4513), Warm Taupe (#D2B48C), Cinnamon Red (#D2691E)
Layout: Trace your favorite coffee mug in the center using mocha brown. Use taupe washi to create "steam" swirls for your weekly notes, and cinnamon dots for your habit tracker.

Anna's COO Color Tip

When building your spreads, follow the 60-30-10 rule: Use your primary cover color for 60% of the page (backgrounds/large blocks), the secondary for 30% (washi/headers), and the boldest accent color for 10% (priority tasks/stickers). This ensures your spread looks "Bookstagram-ready" without becoming cluttered.

Essential Supplies

• Leuchtturm1917 Dot Grid: My go-to for bleed-proof planning.
• Washi Tape: Look for matte finishes to match the aesthetic.
• Copic Markers: Perfect for matching those precise hex codes.
