Customize event colors
Apologies if this is already a feature and I couldn't figure it out...
It would be nice to assign calendar events different colors to quickly identify different types of appointments.
Thanks and appreciate all of the great work!!!

Ten colors should be enough. Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Pink, Black, Grey, Orange, Turquoise

It would be really cool if you could let us change the default colors and make them to our liking. Some people like bright colors, and others would like to do more pastel colors. And also for each type of event we would like to have a different brightness of color too. Important events to highlight bright colors, and unimportant to make, for example, in shades of gray.

I'm guessing that the PLANNED and date means that it is planned for then? But I still don't see it. I've run a software development shop and it is very aggravating that Proton, which is entirely supported by our money, doesn't have a CLEAR and CONSTANT way of keeping their supporters INFORMED on roadmap development progress. Please? Is it too much to ask that these issues, which are clearly important to us, are very opaque regarding progress and delivery dates.
I appreciate the products I really do, but regardless of how many users, there should be better two way communication. If I am wrong and this is clearly posted somewhere, I would humbly accept any correction.

I would like to not only be able to have at least 10 color options for each appointment, but also to be able to label the colors for my calendar. For example, I could call Blue - meetings, Purple- phone call, lavender- family. Or whatever. As soon I can change the colors of my appts, I will start using it. My email functionality will also be limited until then bc Gmail imports email appts/events into my calendar.

I cant use Proton Calendar until I can use colors for the different types of appts. Please bring this soon. Im not too keen on continuing with Gmail now that I found Proton.

Not having the ability to alter the color of events is preventing me from switching over to Proton mail completely from my other service.

Being able to color events, would unblock me. Having 25 calendars is nice, but also too little (in terms of number of colors that is) and way too cumbersome when you’re just trying to group events that do belong together in some way.
This is absolutely critical when it comes to calendar blocking or any other productivity approach.

I completely agree. I have four different people's schedules on one calendar and I rely on color coding each individual event to match the person's correlating schedule so I can keep track of who is doing what at any given moment. Example: person A uses red to signify their events, person B uses blue and so on. Don't color coordinate based on which calendar folder is being used. For me, this is the biggest obstacle to completely switch over from Google calendars to Proton Calendar.

The function I miss the most from google calendar is the function of different colors for different types of event.
An example: Blue for work, red for very important things, green for the rest of the family, a color for a specific hobby etc.
This make it very easy by a glace to get an overview of different types of events in my calendar.
It be great if one can choose a colour when one makes an event , just like in gmail -

It has been 4 years since the first comment, this is the second most upvoted feature request for Proton Calendar, and no review from the Proton team. Very disappointing.

Please provide the ability to change the color of individual calendar entries, as is possible with Google Calendar.

Please create a way to assign colors to individual events. I cannot use your calendar without that.

When adding / editing an event - be able to select a different colour for the event. This way when looking at the month / day overview, someone can at a glance see different type of events (e.g. Grey for work / red for family stuff / blue for individual things / green for medical events etc).

I really want to switch to Proton and do both mail and calendar, but without colour coding events I don't think the calendar is usable; I use colour-coded events for everything. Please implement this.

I'd like this added too.
Pretty much the only reason I haven't switched to the proton calendar yet.It is very convenient to be able to have a quick overview of what kind of appointment it is by the color I have assigned to it.
If it does get implemented I'd also prefer the possibility to pick the color from a color picker optionally perhaps.
For instance in the webmail there is an option to pick a color for labels but those are very limited so I'd prefer more color choice as well. -

I use colors to differentiate event types within my calendar (important appointments, train travels, sport…), this could be achieved with multiple calendar but I am sharing my calendar with my partner so they can see what I scheduled. I don't want to have to share every individual calendar to her, some I would only use for 1 or 2 events a year.
This is the only reason I don't use Proton Calendar…
