| Color code your individual events! | Adrienne | 5/9/11 10:14 AM | Hi Calendar Community! I have never been happier to announce an addition to our Calendar features.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | armo1922 | 5/9/11 10:45 AM | Hi, Adrienne, Thanks for the good news. Is there somewhere that explains how the color-coding works? For example, - Is it handled like labels in Gmail?- Can I search by color-code? (in Agenda view)?- Can I assign more than one color-code to an eve |

How come it took so long? Idly curious on that one, you understand, it was well worth waiting for :) |

| Re: Color code your individual events! | Xivind | 5/12/11 2:18 AM | Thank you Google! This is great and a much appreciated feature.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | tessler65 | 5/12/11 6:29 AM | Hate the color coding. Why do I want little colored dots all over my calendar? Not helpful.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | Ricky Maveety | 5/26/11 3:48 PM | It's OK. Not great, but OK. What I keep hoping is that you will allow black text on the lighter calendar colors, so that colors such as yellow are a little easier to view. White text for all events and tasks can be hard to read on a mobile device. |

| Re: Color code your individual events! | kdconod | 9/14/11 10:11 AM | I agree - when users began clamoring for color coding, that was what we really wanted: to color code the text not add a little box. And it seems for a lot of people not even the stupid box is working. |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | ohio user | 9/14/11 5:06 PM | we don't all get little boxes. Some of us do get the full color band on the calendar cell.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | DL99 | 11/30/11 7:02 PM | Will the color coded events show up if your calendar is embedded in your website? Cheers DL |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | kdconod | 12/4/11 1:26 PM | Apparently no. |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | 88dai11 | 12/8/11 5:33 AM | Is there a way to change the color selection? At some point, my color selection switched to a muted pastel selection that I hate. |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | doug_w | 1/10/12 9:45 AM | I have the same question as 88dai11. With the "new look" everything looks muted and I'm having a hard time reading it on the screen. |

Clearly they don't give a crap about the millions of google/Android users out there. Maybe we need to take our complaints to our cellphone service providers. I' |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | Sports Girl | 1/14/12 7:04 AM | I would also love to have the ability to "tag" the colors for events. I use Outlook (12yrs) and used MeetingMaker (6yrs) both of which give you that options. I really hate that you don't have the option in Google calendar. I also wish there were at |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | JLM72 | 1/17/12 3:07 PM | The color coding is absolutely useless if it doesn't show up on an embedded calendar.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | vrp2002 | 2/7/12 7:52 PM | I HATE the new look. |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | Adnil Sirk | 2/9/12 8:40 AM | This is a great functionality, except that you're forcing everyone to use a pastel palette that many of us hate. How can you possibly pretend that's an improvement? (I notice that the "Post" button here is the green that used to be an option instead |

| Re: Color code your individual events! | jackferry | 2/10/12 10:22 AM | My favorite color is anything but pastel. These new colors are absolutely horrible. I feel like rolling up a newspaper and hitting Google on the nose. "Bad Google, Bad!" Why not at least let us have a choice of using real colors? |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | ThisAccount | 2/10/12 1:41 PM | I can color code events I create on the Google Calendar. I cannot color code events that I allow to be downloaded for events from other sites -- e.g. a meeting I've said I'd go to on Meetup.com. (Note: Once those are on the calendar I also cannot |

| Re: Color code your individual events! | Skammie | 2/15/12 4:36 PM | Colors are not transferable, so there is no way for a shared user to also see the same colors...unless they set it up themselves. |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | b.singh | 2/22/12 4:49 PM | I would like to give a +1 for automatically colorizing certain events based on what I type.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | Ela Stic | 2/27/12 12:57 AM | Hi all, I like this feature and I use it to categorize my event types, e.g. work, family, party, etc. However, I miss the possibility to (automatically) link colors to event types, e.g. filter the given colors to only 4-5, change the given colors, a |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | tangwil | 3/11/12 1:14 PM | I would really like to see the possibility of rules too please!!! It is so slow individually coloring 25 different events each week and setting rules like in Outlook would save LOTS of time |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | galaktiker | 3/24/12 2:34 PM | Hello. Could you add more colours for individual events? For example there's no pink or brown colours. And both pink and dark purple colours are needed... PLEASE!!! |
| Re: Color code your individual events! | janelj54 | 3/28/12 3:21 PM | I seem to have the opposite problem. I have edit rights on my husband's calendar (I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere) but I don't want to see all of the colors he assigns things because it screws up my own color based management scheme.

| Re: Color code your individual events! | Hawkeye24 | 7/6/12 2:04 PM | It would be nice to be able to personalize each color so it's easier to remember what color is assigned to what type of event. i.e. yellow can be changed to say work. purple-appointments. red-class. etc. |
