Calendar Colors for Android
Perfect app. Fills a void left by Google (for some dumb reason) and allows you to set colors of your calendars to anything you want.
Thanks for helping me keep my calendar organized. Easy to change colors in Google but always figured I was stuck with what I saw for Exchange. Thanks for proving me wrong!
Very useful if you attach your exchange account , eg, company working email to your android account and then use its calendar. you will find the original fixed color of exchange calendar is very bad. this tool helps me.
Annoying colors gone, thank you.
Simple. Would be better if could do cooler things.... like allow for a color gradient as final choice. So top half is one color, bottom half another color for example.
Was wating for something like this for a long time. Should be part of core OS functionality. The only think missing is predefined colours.
Fixed the problem I was having setting exchange calendar color actually (despite what the description says). The Google Calendar colors can be changed through the settings, didn't stick with this app. This is on a Pixel phone.
Evil Google does not let you change the color of outlook/exchange calendars. This app solves the problem.
Works great but only for a second. Then changes right back to the color it wants to be. This app would be 5 stars if it worked right!
Can only chose colors. Can't go to calendar after done with the colors for all the different calendar
It works! But I had to redo three times, when they reverted
My exchange and other non Google calendars all keep the color I set in the app. However, my Google calendars always revert back. That is acceptable as you can change all Google calendars color in the calendar e event itself. Whereas exchange and other cals you can't change in event or in calendar app settings. Would be nice if you could change Google calendars but not a deal breaker.
This app solves a problem Google seems reticent to address: applying a custom color to Exchange calendar accounts. I'd love to pick from Hex codes as well as RGB, but it's a great tool.
But similarly to one of the comments below, it reverts back to the original colours shortly after changing them. Shame, because it was very handy. Maybe need a set or save button?
Works perfectly on 6.0.1, thanks! Why on earth I can't set the Exchange color via Google's calendar app is beyond me but thanks for filling the void. Should add a donation link, I'd gladly throw a few dollars your way :)
It really should use HSL to select colors. RGB is a really bad choice, but at least this gives you a way to change the colors the Calendar app doesn't.
I've been trying to change my ugly as sin exchange calendar color for a long time. Finally found this via Google, and it just worked.
Thanks for this, random colors for calendar items were terrible.
I could not take the poop brown that my work calendar imported with, so so sad. This worked perfectly, easy to use and now I have a beautiful, rainbow color pallet!
Worked fantastic against my exchange calendar 'brown' color. Color stuck on reboot - Nexus 6P 6.0.1 Thank you!
At first it worked perfectly and I was so happy! This is something the OS should already do but, since it doesn't, thank you for this app...UNTIL within minutes, the colors switched back and I had to do it all over again. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
Thanks! Great peace of software. Some presets next to the slides would be great in the future
Even while in the app, the colors can revert. Result is good, but it's frustrating to have to reapply makeup
Worked like a charm, spent all morning trying to change the colour of the exchange calendar (which isn't possible on stock android). This did the job!
My important calendars were assigned light pastel colours which made it impossible to see appointments in some apps. Let me change the colours to exactly what I wanted.
Does exactly what is advertised; worked wonderfully. Although the necessity for such an app is rather silly.
The app does change the calendar colours but only for a limited time. They always revert back to the original colours. I have tried this on both my S7 Edge and S2 tablet!
I had wasted so much time trying to change the colours in the stock calendar app, finally a solution! Only minor change I'd like is some predefined colours.
This is a great app. Simple and to the point. I wanted to change color if my exchange calendar, but couldn't... This app is so simple and worked like a charm. Thx.
Finally able to change my exchange calendar colour from that awful brown!
I use Nine Email to set up and configure a Microsoft Exchange account for my work, and thanks to this app I can color coordinate my calendar events with my other calendars, and even my launcher theme. Nice little tool.
Dead-nuts easy. Beyond simple. Just what we needed! Now my Exchange calendar is our company color and not what the Google Calendar forced me to use! I would like to donate!
This simple option is not available in the Google calendar app! What a pity! But this app fulfills this gap.
Used to work well but now just crashing everytime I start it in my Xperia Z3 on Marshmallow.
This is a great example of an app that does one thing, but does it very well. Really easy to use and a great user interface.
Wow why doesn't Google have this built in. This is genius however the heck this guy figured it out.
Wow I have been trying to figure this out for years. Now the problem is solved!
Was wating for something like this for a long time. Should be part of core OS functionality. The only think missing is predefined colours.
This app works, but the colors keep changing back. I do appreciate that this app exists, but just wish I didn't have to keep changing them back over and over. Can you fix this?

Worked for my Outlook ActiveSync and my work Exchange Anywhere account. Didn't work for Gmail though, which isn't a big loss since you can change those in Google Calendar, albeit limitedly.
