Tip of the week #8: Set color codes for the calendars and events to make them distinct from each other.



On a daily basis, we add events to multiple calendars. Won't it be confusing if all of those events and meeting schedules have the same color on the calendar grid? 
 
In Zoho Calendar, you can set color codes for a calendar as well as the events you make in a calendar to distinguish between events created within and across calendars. If you create an event without specifying a color code, the calendar color will be applied to it. 

Calendar colors

Calendar color codes can be selected when creating a calendar or editing an existing calendar.
 
When you create a personal or group calendar by clicking the + icon, or when you edit any of the calendars in Zoho Calendar, you can choose the color for the events in the calendars. Click the calendar color drop-down to the left of the calendar title and select a color from the color picker. Explore now.
 

Event colors

You can assign colors to every event you add to a calendar. To distinguish between various events in the same calendar you can choose different colors of your choice from the colors preset provided.
 
When you create an event, you can choose a color for it. You can also edit an existing event you created to change its color. To pick and change the event color, click on the event color drop-down to the left of event title. Choose the event color from the color picker. Learn more.


Color shades

The event color in the calendar grid can be bold or light, depending on your preferences. You can set it as the default option in the calendar settings or select it from the More options menu in the calendar grid. Learn more.
