An error occurred while saving the comment Whisper Loudly commentedI use calendar colors "semantically", such that the color of a calendar and its events tells me something about it (type, priority, etc). The built-in colors for Proton Calendar are utterly useless to me in this regard. I also find that the pastel colors blend in the Android app's month view, making events difficult to distinguish with a quick glance. Google's colors leave a lot to be desired, but they're miles better than Proton Calendar. Until I began using Proton Calendar, I hadn't realized how much I rely on the color "semantics" to make information stand out.
I really don't understand how someone puts in the work to add calendar colors, but then nerfs the feature by hard coding just 5 basic color groups, with 4 largely indistinguishable variations of each. Just add a color wheel! If there's some sick need to hard code a limited set of colors, then use fewer variations of more base colors, pick colors with greater differences between them, and include some primaries!

An error occurred while saving the comment Whisper Loudly commentedThis is a basic feature of any useful calendar, and I'm amazed there's no UI for it.
Workaround:
Interestingly, it works if one imports an ICS file containing a recurring event such as "last day of the month". The description of such an event might not be accurate within Proton Calendar (e.g. it might say "every month on the 31st" even though it's actually "every month on the last day"), but it will schedule correctly. So as a labor-intensive workaround, one can:
• Export an ICS with the desired event from another app and import it into Proton Calendar.
...or...
• Export an ICS from Proton Calendar with a similar recurring event (e.g. monthly on the 31st), modify the recurrence rule for the event by manually editing the ICS file, then import it back into Proton Calendar.
For the tech masochists:
If you're manually editing an ICS file in a text editor (remember to use DOS newlines), you can change the target RRULE line as follows:
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTHDAY=-1
That's for the simple case of "last day of the month", repeating forever. See RFC 5545 § 3.8.5.3. Obviously, this isn't remotely practical, but someone might find it useful.
