Quick answer
Google Calendar has expanded event color options to 200 variants, including RGB customization, to improve visual task organization. The update is available for all Workspace and personal account users.
Google has announced a major expansion of the color palette in its Calendar service. Users can now choose from 200 colors to style events, enabling more flexible organization of work and personal tasks. Previously available 11 preset colors have been replaced with 24 standard options, along with added RGB palette support for custom shade adjustments.
The update is already rolling out to users on fast-release domains, with expanded deployment starting June 29. According to the company, full implementation may take several weeks. The feature is enabled by default for all Google Workspace customers, individual subscribers, and personal account holders.
Google noted that this change responds to long-standing user requests. The previously limited color selection made it difficult to visually distinguish events, especially for users managing both work and personal schedules. Now, each event can be uniquely highlighted, simplifying quick schedule reviews.
