More Colors for Calendar! is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your Google Calendar experience by allowing you to add unlimited custom colors to your events. Easily access a new color palette via right-clicking or within event details, and create personalized colors using hex codes. Manage your custom colors effortlessly with an intuitive interface in the extension menu.

This extension supports both cloud mode—syncing your custom colors across devices—and local mode, which removes event count limitations. It's ideal for users seeking better calendar organization and personalization beyond the default Google Calendar palette. Please note, custom colors are available only on the web version of Google Calendar and are tied to your Chrome profile for consistent syncing.

User reviews

Users widely report the More Colors for Calendar! extension fails to apply custom colors, defaulting to red regardless of selection. While it once worked well, it has stopped functioning correctly since early 2024. Both desktop and mobile versions suffer from color display issues, with mobile showing only gray. The extension does not properly handle custom hex color codes, and its controls often stop responding. Overall, users find the extension disappointing and frustrating due to these persistent bugs.

Pros

Cons

The extension consistently fails to apply the selected custom colors and defaults to showing red instead.
Custom colors added by the user do not display correctly; only Google Calendar standard preset colors seem to work, but even these are overridden to red.
The extension previously worked but has stopped functioning properly since early 2024, with buttons losing functionality.
The extension's mobile version shows all colors as gray, lacking the custom colors functionality present on desktop.
Users express frustration and disappointment due to the extension not fulfilling its primary purpose.

Does not work at all ! I write the HEX color code and it appears, but once I chose it, it only gives me RED ! So what a scam. I wanted cute colors and it will only give me RED. Please fix this !!
