    Trying to pull the categories and respective colors into a foreach loop inside a widget (actually I’m modifying the calendar plugin’s default list widget). Anyway to do this similarly to how I’m pulling in the categories? 

    $categories = get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'tribe_events_cat');
echo esc_html( $categories[0]->name; );

    Similar to how the color shows to the left of the event name when you first setup your plugin, trying to the the colors to the left of the category name in the widget – https://pentangle.wpengine.com/

    Thanks for any help!

    There’s a checkbox to allow colorizing widgets in the Settings. Does this not work?

    You don’t really pull the colors in the CSS that the widget creates is styled by the plugin.

    Hey Andy, thanks for getting back to me.
    Yes, that setting works great to get a color border on the event title.

    But I’m hoping I can pull the color into a variable I can use in multiple places, and not just as a border to the left of an events title.

    Thats not really how the plugin is designed. You’ll likely have to create your own CSS for these areas.
