Is there a way to change the colors ICS assigns to calendars?
I am syncing several corporate calendars on one account and a couple personal calendars on another account. None of the calendars display the same color which has been chosen for it under the web interface (i.e. one calendar displays as blue online while it is grey on my Nexus). There does not appear to be any way to change a calendar's assigned color within the ICS app.
I am either missing something or this is a pretty large oversight on Google's behalf. I was expecting a tighter integration between Android and Google Apps. It is pretty disappointing that I could at least reassign colors on my Blackberry's but not Android.
Assign the colors in Gmail from a PC and the app will sync to the same colors. Not an ICS issue, has been this way for a while.

That is the issue. I have assigned colors in Gmail but they do not sync on the Nexus. Greens are Blue, Reds are Grey.....etc
Did you ever fix this? Having the same issue.

Yes I did. It appears that the issue was due to using the "old" theme instead of the new google themw. Which is a dissappointment since the calendar colors in the old theme were better than the bright shades in the new one.
I have the new calendar theme but I am getting the old calendar colors :/ Dull and dark colors.

i have some questions about calendars in general.
i know i can add calendars trough google.
is there no way to ass a calendar on the phone ?
and if so is there then a possibility to choose how to sync it ? lets say jsut with google or jsut with htc sync ?
is there a possibility to change the color of a calendar ? it seems all google calendars are red , htc sync is green and local is blue
and then finally is there a way to show the color in calendar month view. ill explain, in the month view you have these bars that indicate that there is a calendar entry. but they all have the same green color. is there a way to have the calendar colors shown there ?
Stock calendar. All looks good when I look at the calendar on google/computer.
Phone set to sync with my google calendar and add on calendars.
I have repeating events, add on calendars for sports, holidays, phases of the moon and regular calendar entries.
Set on my phone to sync all of these.
When I open the calendar on the phone it does not show the sports. There are solid colored lines across the top of the calendar with no printing visible. When I click on one it brings up the edit screen for that entry.(the repeating events)
Are all these issues due to a buggy app? Hope to fix in an update? Or do I need to change something on the phone?
Thank you.

You can change it from your desktop. Log in to Google, click on calendar, and where it has your your calendar name and Tasks below it (could be different on yours). If you select the drop down arrow, you can select a different color. This will sync to your phone also.

Thanx, that answers my question on how to change the overall color on my calendar, but im still looking for a way/an app that gives me diffrent colors for each event like on my brower's calendar.
up.
If you wanted a widget, you could try Simple Calendar widget
No they were right, go via the web to your Google calendar and pick the event and you can change the color of just that event. I've done it before so I know it works. I even have separate calendars with different colors too.

I'm building a Calendar widget with Zooper pro for my Galaxy S3 4.3 with Nova prime.
It's showing date and title for the next 6 events in my Google Calendar. This part works perfectly.
I want each event to be the color of the actual event in my Google Calendar. I'm using a Rich Text field for each event, and the code goes like this:
[c=#C0COLOR#]#C0SEEEE# #C0Sd#/#C0SM# - #C0TITLE#[/c]
The thing is, when displayed on my homescreen, the text appears in the color of the Calendar, which in this case is red. You can have multiple calendars in Google Cal, and you can organize these with colors. But since Im only using one calendar, all my events are displayed as red on my home screen, even though ive made some of the single events green and blue.
I thought #C0COLOR# would get the color from the event, and not the calendar?
Bro can I get the unfinished template I have been tryin to make a calender for a long time

I can't be the only one with this problem?
Does the refference #C0COLOR# work as intended for anyone?

I have the same problem, you're not alone.
How can we change the color?
Do you mean the stock one? Doesn't seem possible. It's not to be surprised, given that we had to wait so long to change the carousel wallpaper
Are you talking about
"Choose different colors for calendar events
If you have multiple e-mail accounts synced with your phone, you can assign a color for each account. When you select a new color for an account, your calendar events appear in that color. To learn more, go to General Settings for Email, Contacts, and Calendar."?
