Allow user to set their course calendar colors

  This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas  Learn more about voting...

We would like to be able to chose the color assigned to particular calendars.  At times we crosslist sections and then the courses end up having very similar colors.  It would just be nice to be able to chose the color assigned.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this feature idea.

I'm going to to ahead and archive this request rather than queue it for the next round of voting because there will be an item in the May 26th release notes that I think will make a lot of users happy.

I already played with this a bit. Great color choices, and if those aren't enough...custom colors. Now my calendars can match the colors I chose in my mobile app for each course.

You can add colors via the hex number. I created a tutorial on how to create or find a hex color number. Check it out at the link below.

Yup! That's what I was excited about in my original post.
