Calendar colours/colors broken in evolution

I've just upgraded to evolution 2.12.0 and the colouring of my calendars has stopped working. They have all gone to shades of pink and even if I change them back to the colours I want, that colour goes across the current calendar then gets wiped again with the pink.
Anyone else having this problem?
Just for the Americans searching here.... color

I'm having all kinds of issues with evolution as of late. Just this morning all the icons turned to a red colored X. My system also starts to lag severely after evolution has been running for more than 5 minutes or so. Pretty sure this all started with the update from earlier this week.

Calendar colours are different in iPhone than what's on my iCal

Why is it that the colours that I assign in iCal on my computer is different than the colours I see for the same events on the Calendar in the iPhone?
Say, for example, I set an event for MISC for a whole day for today, and make it Red in my iCal - when I look at it in my iPhone, it's Orange. When I set it as Green, then it's Blue. When I set it to Black, it's Red. When it's Blue, it's Purple. And so on.
Is there something wrong with my iPhone, or is there a patch?
Thank you

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
You can't easily fix this - only Apple can do so! They've released a kbase article with the explanation excuse that it is normal for the calendar colors not to match.
There is a workaround, although it is something of a pain. The iPhone will apply calendar colors in the following order: red, orange, blue, green, purple. (If you only sync one calendar, it's blue).
Depending on the colors you want, you first need to create 'blank' calendars in iCal to 'use up' unwanted colors. Then, you need to sync the calendars, one at a time, in color order.
Go to the Info tab (in iTunes with the iPhone connected and selected in the devices list). With the Sync iCal calendars box checked, UNcheck all the boxes and sync. Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be red. Then sync (if you look on the iPhone at this point, that calender will be blue, since it's the only one). Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be orange, then sync. Repeat for blue, then green, then purple.
For example, if I want to have two calendars, Home colored blue and Work purple, I would create three new calendars - empty1, empty2, empty3 - then check the boxes in the following order, syncing between each: empty1, empty2, Home, empty3, Work.
You only need to do this once (as long as you don't delete the empty calendars in iCal) - after that, iTunes 'remembers' the colors and maintains them.
Also, you can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

ICloud Calendar colours

iCloud Calendar colours has finally fixed !!!!

Eureka!! Discovered a solution for this systemic problem (albeit temporary for some users). Can't take the credit for the fix, though. All kudos goes to Sam Yu.
He wrote;
"Found a workaround for this issue. I don't think it has to do with the fact that the calendar is named "work". Here's what I did:
exported existing "work" calendar
create a new calendar with a new name, "work 2"
imported calendar to the new calendar
change calendar to the desire color
deleted old "work" calendar
named calendar back to "work"
I closed the calendar app and opened it again. The color stayed to my desired setting. Hope this helps!"

Calendar colours changing themselves

I've been using iCal on Macbook Air syncing the Calendar over iCloud to both iPad2 and iPhone5 for about a month.
I have two calendars - one was in Green and the other Orange (these were the default colours from when the devices were first used and I was happy with them so left the colours alone).
Two days ago the Green calendar started changing itself to Blue and the Orange one started changing itself to Purple. If I change the colours back to my desired Green and Orange (and I've tried doing it on all three devices) then they just keep changing themselves (on all three devices) to the undesired Blue and Purple.
Both the MBA and iPhone5 are one month old, and software is up to date on all three.
I'm aware of another (old) thread concerning colours and subscribed calendars, but these are not subscribed calendars.

lksjfl
Me too.
I have iPhone5 (less then 3 months old) running 5 calenders (each with a different colour).
All are iCloud enabled.
All are subscribed to by a MacPro (Lion) and an iPhone4.
1 calender is subscribed to by a iMac (early silver casing runing Lion).
In the past few days, calendar colours on the iPhone5 & then the others) keep self-changing. If you change them back, they self-change again.
All softrware is up to date.
This definitely was not a problem until a few days ago.
Help ! Apple sort this out - it is driving us mad.

Calendar sharing color issue

This is an issue that is strange. It just doesn't make any sense.
I have Droid X running 2.3. I am running Google Calendar with shared Calendar.
In the Month view, every calendar event is represented in the color blue.
In the Weekly view, every calendar event is represented according to each Calendar's color.
I have two Calendars for my setup. Blue for me and Yellow for my wife.
So, the phone has the correct data. Its just not showing it in 30 day view.
This would be a very easy fix, if we can just default to the Weekly view.
Thats not an option either.
Is there a fix on the way I hope?
Also, along the same line...with my original Droid...we had corporate calendar and personal Calendar.
Its missing on the Droid X. Is that the issue?

Hi,
From your description, OWA works well, then the permission is suitable. I recommend you turn off cached mode on Outlook, restart Outlook and check the result. If it works well, then you can re-enable cached mode.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,

IOS 7 Calendar colours only appear in grey in Month View on iPhone 5

Why are Calendar colours in month view on iPhone 5 only in grey? They just appear as small grey dots underneath the date number. This is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot. I am so disappointed with the iOS 7 upgrade.

Better to post your topic in the developer community > Developer Forums: Apple Support Communities

Change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Dear Support,
I am trying to change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Hi,
Let's take Outlook 2013 for example, go to FILE tab ->
Options -> Calendar -> Display options
-> Select the Default calendar color and the checkbox for
Use this color on all calendar ->
OK.
In case the Navigation Pane is corrupted, we may try starting Outlook with the switch "/resetnavpane":
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
I hope this helps.

Why are my calendars changing colors?

This has been happening occasionally over the past 6 months: the various calendars I have created in Calendar suddenly change colors from what I set. I can go in and reset them, but the reset doesn't stick; the next time I open Calendar, the calendar events have changed to bizarre colors again. Then in a week or two, as suddenly as it started, the color changes stop and all is normal again.
This does NOT affect my iCloud-synced iPhone or iPad calendars - their colors are what I originally intended. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.5.

I just had the same problem. I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
Here's what I did:
1. Take your calendars offline in iCal
2. Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
3. Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
4. Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
5. Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
6. Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
Good luck!

Why is it that the calendar colour always returns to purple when I have changed it to green

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Icloud Calendar changes color

On my iPhone 4S (6.1.3) subscribed calendars change color back to owners preset color. Macbook and browsers work properly.
I can change the color to my favortite, but few seconds later it changes back. Rebooting the iPhone, deleting third party calenders didn't help.
Any solutions?
Have a nice day, amo

My apologies. I should have added that I had read and followed instructions on all 3 of the troubleshooting pages (Lion, iCloud, and iOS). I always try to solve the problem before I write.
I fiddled with it more today and at the moment it seems to be working. It appears that I have to go into Calendar on the iPhone to make any changes that will keep. That is a bit of a drag since I actually use WeekCal on my phone. So later today I will probably remove and reinstall the app.
With that being the case I think I know what might have started this cascade of problems, but would take too long to write here. I will continue to mess with it and probably be able to get it working. I think I need to turn off icloud and erase the calendars from my iPhone so it sees the Mac as the main source of the calendars again.
Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

2.1 Reset calendar colours?

I updated to iphone 2.1 last night and it has reset my calendar colours on my iPhone. Mobile me and iCal are both the same, but in the software upgrade it seems to have put my calendars in alphabetical order which has completely mucked up the colours.
Is there any way to change the colours on iphone? I know this was a problem early on but is there a solution yet?

Hi I had the same problem. I seem to have fixed it, but I don't know which step actually solved the problem:
1. Turned off Calendar syncing on my Exchange account in Settings. This deleted all my Exchange events on my iPhone.
2. With my iPhone connected to my PC running Outlook, re-enabled syncing of Calendars with Outlook (work calendar) in iTunes. This didn't seem to do anything.
3. With my iPhone connected to my PC running Outlook, enabled syncing of Calendars with Outlook (calendar) in iTunes. This overwrote all my iPhone appointments with my Exchange appointments, coloured slate blue.
4. On the iPhone, turned back on Calendar syncing on my Exchange account in Settings. This cleared all my blue appointments and then reloaded them into the red Calendar calendar. My iPhone appointments in the Work calendar (orange) reappeared.
I am guessing there are various lists of events stored somewhere against calendar names, but it is not possible at the moment to properly configure a mapping between external calendars like the one in Exchange and the ones in the iPhone.
Hope this helps. Now I have no more white/yellow entries!

Calendar colours broken suddenly, and odd new calendar called, "New List"?

Hi,
So, suddenly today iCloud has changed the colours of two or three of my calendars spontaneously after them being the same colour for months, and won't let me change them back - after a sync they just revert to whatever iCloud has decided they must now be.
I've checked in BusyCal (my default) and Calendar, and changes to either of them are just reverted on sync. There doesn't seem to be a way to change colours in iCloud itself.
Also, I now have a new calendar in iCloud all of a sudden called, "New List", with a tick next to it. If I delete it it just comes back on next sync. This doesn't appear in iCloud or in Calendar, only BusyCal.
Help?
EDIT: I'm running 10.8.5. Apple's Discussion board doesn't seem to want to let me change my device details no matter how hard I try.

This is the response I received from BusyCal support yesterday...
Something changed on iCloud recently that affects calendar colors in BusyCal. We are investigating it and will notify you once we have found the cause of the problem or a solution.
Regards,

Outlook 2013 Calendar lacks color options for months and "Today"?

Am I missing settings in Outlook 2013 that would allow me to color months different/alternating colors and brightly highlight "Today", specifically in the Month view for the calendar? I see I can change the color of the overall calendar,
but that does nothing to address my problems.
Background: The month view for the calendar in Outlook 2010 was wonderfully glance-able. The current month had one color background, and the bordering months had a different color, allowing you to easily see the months. Also, "Today" was brightly
highlighted in light yellow, making it easy to discern which day on the calendar was the current day. As far as I can see in Outlook 2013, these are both now missing. Months are all the same color, making it hard to scroll through and keep any
sense of what's being presented visually. Today is denoted by a tiny blue bar that blends into all the blue bars of uncategorized appointments, again making it much harder to find than it should be. If there is no option to change the highlighting,
Outlook has taken a huge step back in usability in my eyes.

I found a good way of highlighting today's appointments in weekly and monthly view using conditional formatting:
. go to Edit - Automatic Formatting
. click Add
. in the Name field enter "Today"
. in the Label field choose a color
. click on Condition...
. on Appointments and Meetings tab where it says Time:
. choose "starts"
. choose "today"
. click OK
. click OK
While not ideal, that sounds like a decent hack to highlight today, provided I have an appointment.
However, in trying to put into practice, it's picking up all of my reoccurring appointments that are set to reoccur with no end by date, and it's not picking up the reoccurring appointments that have a defined end by date that it should be getting highlighted
(as they occur today).
Even using the advanced filter to require the "Start" be "today" and the "End" be "today" it still highlights the same wrong appointments. And unless I'm misunderstanding the logic, the "Recurrence Range End" field flag appears to be broken, as I _still_
get the same behavior by setting the condition to "exists" (apparently a setting of "No End Date" puts some sort of data into the field).

Calendar Colours

After months of frustration with the well known problem of the iPod Touch changing the colours of iCal calendars when syncing all is fixed! This seems to have followed from the latest iTunes update. All calendars are now perfectly colour synced with my desktop imac's iCal colours.
Anyone else noticed this?
James

thanks
