Planner Calendar Colours

[Jenny Dean]

Loving the planner and how it is improving my productivity as I adapt how I manage my work with it.

Is / will it possible to allow users to change the colours of their different connected calendars? Alternatively, could the colour assignment be adjusted so that the same colour isn't repeated, including tasks / focus time added from Trello cards? 

I currently have 3 calendars connected to my planner, but one of my calendars is the same colour as the purple used for items I create in my main calendar. I tried to change the colour of one of them, but it seems that I can't?  I use colours a lot to differentiate things, so it really helps me to quickly visualise what are genuine calendar items like meetings, vs tasks that I have put in my planner from my Trello cards where it isn't as important if I miss it.

Hi Jenny! Appreciate the feedback! 

The colors of your particular events in Trello are based on their color in Google Calendar. The only exception is focus time events created from Trello which are always purple. 

We are exploring allowing you to change the color of your calendars and events, but that would also update them in Google calendar. Another option we are exploring as well is allowing you to choose the color of your "focus times/scheduled cards" which defaults to purple right now. 

How do either of these sound to you? Would they solve your issue or were ya thinking something slightly different?
