Feature Requests

When you create a local calendar it assigned a color and if you create more they are all assigned different colors. i would like the ability to be able to change the colors of existing local calendars and the ability to choose a color when creating a new one

Also requesting this feature. (Also would be nice if colors of existing calendars wouldn’t change when adding a new calendar that changes the order alphabetically)

Exactly, I get really difficult to read colour combinations in dark themes, i.e. white text on very bright yellow background. This should be customizable and not changing every time when I add / remove another calendar.

We are used to see different colors depending who its primary for so please add this feature.

I would also like the ability to set my own colours for each of the local calendars I create - and not have them change when you add a new calendar. Appreciate whatever can be accommodated.

Kind regards

Please make such feature. I remember all my calendars/appointments by color, knowing which colors represents work/personal/birthday and etc…

I am also in favour of this feature!

I too would like to request this feature. What is the proper channel for issuing a formal request?

Anyone knows if there is any way to change colours in the calendars at the moment?

What actually controls the assignment of the colour currently when you create a new calendar, is it in the themes or somewhere else?

Since the GUI is on the roadmap, I am hoping this will be a priority as well.

I can’t tell from using the web page inspector. I suspect an indexed variable would have to be created like was done for the energy dashboard graph colours. https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/discussions/12397

I would also like to do this per event in a single calendar

not sure if this is the same ask, so let me add this:
colors would be perfect for recognizing events in a single calendar (usecase here: waste collection)

these are all showing identically, and hence require a click to identify the waste type

they’re created automatically, so would be a huge improvement if we could set a color in those automations

      - action: calendar.create_event
        target:
          entity_id: calendar.afvalwijzer
        data:
          summary: Ophaaldag Saver
          description: >
            {{trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name}}
          start_date: >
            {{date}}
          end_date: >
            {{(as_datetime(date)+ timedelta(days=1))
               |as_timestamp|timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d')}}

(ofc I am aware I can set a template in the Summary, this is just for illustrating purposes)
Imagine green, gray, orange and blue for organic, waste, plastics and paper)
