How to change event colors

    I would like to change the colors (both background and text) of certain classes of events (i.e. sub-calendars of a Google Calendar).

    I’ve been foundering around looking at documentation for the Private Google Calendars plugin, and the FullCalendar documentation. I note that in the settings for Private Google Calendars there is a section Public calendar settings > Public calendars where you can specify the Calendar ID, Title, and Color, but when I specify a color, it seems to make no difference to the calendar display.

    Please tell me how to accomplish this!

    Thanks

    In addition, there is no help in what I can enter for the Color entry in that table. No pull-down list, nor documentation. And there is a reference to a Colorlist, but it’s not clear what that is, nor how to use it.

    Hi, how to use colors depends on whether you use public or private calendars.

    For public calendars you can specify the title and color in the settings page as you notices. For color you can use values like hex values like #AA00CC.

    Private calendars are displayed in the colors they have in the Google application. If you use the default colors, this will be done automatically, but if you used custom colors for some of your calendars, then you first need to click the “Update colorlist” button in the settings.

    Hope this helps.

    Still not quite there…

    I have specified the colors for the two calendars on this page: https://souheganvalleychorus.org/events/svc-events-calendar/ :

    The US Holidays entries show the background color I picked (“Wisteria”), but the actual events for “Friends of SVC Events” show with a dark Turquoise color, and blue text, which is not easy to read in contrast. There is an indication that the color I chose for that calendar (“Mango”) is set, by the small colored dot in the upper left corner. But I cannot seem to change the entire event color or text to make it more readable. The little colored dot isn’t very useful.

    Is there some way I can control this?

    Another example is this page: https://souheganvalleychorus.org/full-calendar-2/

    Is there some way to ‘grey-out’ past events, as opposed to just hiding them?

    Thanks!
