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!!!
Hi everyone, this feature is now available on web, Android, iOS and desktop!

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…

I did a work-around on this by creating different colored calendars for each type of event. It's a bit cumbersome. Being able to change item color with a click would be very much better.

Implementing custom colors for calendar events and the search function are the main features that are missing at the moment in my opinion.

I am very positively impressed by the Proton products but I think it's sad that this feature has not been implemented after 3 years :/

yes, I would appreciate this, potentially with a hierachy of colors (if both blue and red events exist on that day, show only a red dot to conserve UI space).
I have both recurring tasks that are very low priority, and some with very high priority. Looking at the entire month, it's very hard to discern which days I need to pay special attention to as it's all just one green dot per day.Edit: I guess a hack that currently works is to create different calendars, one per urgency level? Kinda ugly tho

Agreed. Love the Google Calendar way to right click and quickly change color to the events, while still having a small section of the event the original calendar color. I like this because i like to change the color to gray so I can mark it as "complete" in my mind.

Hi, I was planning to migrate from Google calendar but the missing colours actually made me pause migration.
I use a calendar for many different activities and usually have at least 4 -6 entries per day. I use colours for different topics which makes it very easy to quickly see and understand events related.
Please implement this soon, it is a crucial calendar Feature in my opinion.
Many thanks 🙏🏾

Absolutely critical. Please introduce this ASAP.

Agree. Color-coded events are very important to me. If possible, just carry over the colors from Gmail (at least until I can ditch Gmail for good).

I strongly suggest moving your votes to that one, because it covers a range of basic functionality

Feature: Add the option to colour-code individual events.
I think the demand for this feature may be higher than it seems, as votes are fragmented over different feature requests.
This is an attempt to collaboratively compile similar requests. I hope it helps clarify the actual demand for this feature.
Perhaps Proton merges similar feature requests and votes internally, so please let me know if this is not helpful or if there is a better way to clarify the actual demand for features.- [Please provide an option to color code an individual calendar item.](https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/43492908-please-provide-an-option-to-color-code-an-individu)

I agree, the colors look to similar. I struggle to see the difference between some colors, especially in the iOS app where the events are marked with a small colored dot in the monthly calendar.
