I also had a special color code for each of my own calendars based on critical importance and whether or not the event required me to go to an alternative location other than my office. At a glance I could get the info I needed for my day. Now everything looks the same. Fix this or I'm migrating to a different calendar system. This color scheme totally lacks function.

When setting up my new Calendars, I found the colors so awful that I went searching for an alternative. What I found was this thread. Can't believe I've wasted 2 hours on this. Reminds me of Outlook, but worse.<br /><br />Can we please customize the foreground and background colors? This is really basic UI 101. Withholding it is such a lame, MS Exchange kind of thing. Can't believe it's Google doing this.
