Changing iCal color

How do you change the color palette in iCal?
Loved the old scheme. Since "upgrading" to Mavericks it's all faded out and I don't see where there's any option to change.
Thanks in advance.

I can't tell you why this is happening, but I can tell you that I admin many different iCloud users. Some subscribed calendars' colors can be changed in iCal, some are greyed out. It can't make any sense of it yet. However, If you want to change the colors of these calendars, you may do so by logging into your account in iCloud. Get to the calendars and hit EDIT. You will see colored dots next to each calendar. You can then change the color there. Log out and refresh in ical. The colors will (eventualy) be changed. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing. Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems. I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price?? Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set. I have about 5 calendars.
I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud. Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again. I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com. The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs". It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
Has anyone else seen this today

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Why are my assigned iCal colors changing automatically?

All of my designated calendar colors are changing on their own in my iCal on my iPhone and in iCloud. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried to change back, but keeps reverting to new colors.

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!

Changing the Color of a subscribed iCal calendar

Is there any way to change the color of an iCal calendar that I subscribe to? The iCal subscription is from another Mac User (iCloud) who published the calendar using a color that I use for my calendar and I'd rather change hers (on my Mac) than change mine.
Doing a "get info" shows the color but it's 'grey'd out' so I can't change it.
Thanks

How do you change the color of fonts in ical?

Is there a way to change the text color of the fonts in ical from the standard white to black? It is hard to read some entries if the color of your calendar is light... I can't figure it out, as there is no "font" section in the ical preferences.

No unfortunately. You have limited to changing the color of the calendar, and that is pretty much it.
hope this help.

How do you change the color of events on ICal.

How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
Thanks!

Phoebe,
Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
Then choose the color from this pane:

Hello. I am trying to change the colors on my ical. I have been able to select a calendar group, click "get info" and then "other" in the color options and which point a a lot of color options are available. HOWEVER, I can't seem to select the color.

How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Everything is greyed and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading, all fonts are grey, instead of black, and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible? And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade? I no longer have column headings and I'd like them. Thank you.

Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

Why is iCal changing the color of my calendars to purple even after trying to change it back to my original color?

iCal is changing the color of my calendars to purple on all my devices even after trying to change it back to the original color. Tried turning them off, same thing.

I, too, had this problem. This is how I fixed it:
Select the calendar that changes color and export the calendar to desktop.
Delete the calendar from ical.
Create new calendar in Ical and name it to your specifications
Go to desk top and choose the calendar you moved and choose to open with Ical. This should import it back to ical.
Go into settings in ical and choose that calendar as your default calendar.
It sounds complicated but is actually easy to do. I hope this helps.

Change of colors for actual day in ical

Is there any possibilty to change the color for the day into another one - the light blue looks nice but pale.

OK... got it... I use Microsoft Exchange set up by a 3rd party so i guess that is what the e-mail one is. I still use Outlook but eventually want to simplify. Right now i go back and forth between Outlook and iCal because Outlook still seems better to me. But hoping to have an open mind and find out how to use iCal more effectively. But i wonder if the local calenders are synced with the e-mail account. Is there anyway to move and/or combine the local calendars with my e-mail one so i have it all under "one roof" which means i can access all of it on my iphone, ipad, and computer and not have them appear as if thy are seperate?
Thanks.

HT2513 Is it possible to change the color scheme of a Microsoft Exchange calendar in iCal?

My Exchange account is running 2007 version software. I tried Control+Click and Go To Info (like I do for my iCloud calendars), but the Info menu does not pop up. Any ideas why?

Make a Shape > Inspector > Graphic > Tinted Image Fill > Scale to fit > browse to image > click on the color patch to change the color to what you want
or
Drag in an image > overlay it with a Shape > select the color for the shape and change its Opacity
Shapes may have Gradient and Advanced Gradient (multiple colors) fills both linear and radial. Both are in the Graphic Inspector as is Opacity.

How can I change the color of iCal Calendars ?

Under the heading of Calendars I have 9 categories, each has a colored square to the left. Each square can be checked or unchecked. I want to change the colors of these squares, can I do that?

Control-click the calendar name in that list and select Get Info from the pop-up. There is a colour-selection popup top right.

In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes?

In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes and what does each color mean and how do we change it? It makes no sense or has any rhymn or reason according to what is in my calendar.

By default it is colored by the number of entries for each day. From white for no entries through yellow to orange and then red for the most entries.
Hope this helps.

Changing calendar colors

A client of mine uses a specific color code for his ical on his computer, but on his iphone, the colors are different. I see no way to change the colors on the iphone. How do I do this?
Thanks,

Cashman, this is actually possible. I just did it after searching for an answer.
how i did it:
go to iphone "Settings"
Mail contacts calendars
The exchange account he wants to change the color of.
Switch calendars to off wait till it says off then switch back on.
go and check if one of his calendars colors have changed to the color he likes.
I had to do it up to 4x on a couple just to get it to the right color, i have 4 accounts to keep track of so colors are important to me, It wont have to be changed again. Ahh.....relief!
