Local Calendars - Request the ability to change the colors

Feature Requests
13

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

14

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 canā€™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

theyā€™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)

+1 for Color Settings :slight_smile:

21

This is exactly why I would like this too!

Iā€™d rather like my blue bin/bag calendar to be blue, my brown bin calendar to be brown, and my grey bin calendar to be grey.

At least you got different colors :wink:

How did you do that?

23

Create a separate calendar for each event type. Not one calendar with multiple events.

I spent far too long trying to see if there was a little cog I was missing somewhere on this page! But alas no.

25

I could have a look at that, hx.

However, I dont think we can set the colors even in that scenario? Which would make the effort kind of moot, as my hope is to have the color glimpse and be aware what type is dueā€¦

26

Nope. You canā€™t set them (thereā€™s no theme variable) but they are different.

27

Please add this feature!

Iā€™ve just realised that they are the same as the new graph line colours, but we canā€™t set them either. Not that I mind there, they are a good set of colours.
