Color labels/categories in calendar
We just started using the ProtonMail calendar, but notice there is no way to color code events/categories such as we had in Outlook/Google calendars. It would be helpful to have this feature included to easily identify the type of event at a glance.

Not sure if you (Proton) read these after the fact but just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for releasing this feature and functionality of the ability to color code events in the Proton Calendar. It has made the family much happier. :-)

Color labels feature like in Google Calendar would be pretty useful for me

Is there an ETA on getting this feature? We really need this and will only help with the adoption of Proton away from the (not so) "free" calendars from Google and all privacy pillagers.

This is indeed critical. It also stops me from using the calendar,and prefer to use Google. you need to be able to see at a glance what appointment is which. different color coding helps.

I would also love to see custom colours attached to a searchable label function. For example I can tag or label an event as "appointment" or "work" and then filter or search on that label.
The workaround of using separate calendars is also not ideal, since it removes the ability to easily share a unified calendar with others.

Before protoMail I used Google Calendar, and I got into the habit of labeling each event with a color for each category. Today, I'm between a paper calendar and your calendar, and I want to use this here as well.
In the end, of course, it's the same thing, but I don't think it's really helpful to have a dedicated calendar for my out of the ordinary (but important) appointment that I have less than 10 times a year, or a dedicated calendar for my running session.
It will work, but I don't want to juggle 5 or 6 different calendars when I put in a new event. It may be a gimmicky feature for most people, but I find it really useful when I just want to know at a glance which event is what.

This is critical. Important if multiple lables/categories are selected then color the event/entry with all the colors of the laabels. Like stripes etc.

I have some color coding options in my calendar, might be in beta? But it looks like the colors are limited to the theme your using, which, is okay for now.
But what would be ideal, is a color picker, but second best option, is include three grey scale swatches along with the other colors.

This is a deal breaker, not only for the calendar, but for the entire proton sphere. This is the only thing we noticed to cause problem in our transition away from google. Problem is that now we're in some middle ground step with using proton services for some, and google services for others, which has already caused problems and I've been asked to revert ALL our uses back to google

Labels to filter/search/arrange calendar events would be incredibly helpful. More helpful than having multiple calendars.
Bonus idea. If it's possible to then share a subset of a calendar that'd be *chefs kiss*.
You could keep your calendar organized, and then more easily share stuff out to folks to let them maybe see details for a specific label, but only see free/busy for everything else. -

I agree, please add.
