Hi Xavier,

The Google Calendar team has discussed adding the ability to specify colors per event, but it's not at the top of the list right now. Tagging events with categories/labels is a separate feature set and will probably be available before the ability to set event colors, but I don't know when either feature will be released.

Based on the activity in this thread I can see that these features are in high demand, so I'll see what I can do about getting them implemented.

I'll keep you posted, Lane

Do we have any updates on the ability to add color-coded categories to individual google events? I use google calendar to post organizations´ event calendars. Within that calendar we offer different types of events. It´ll be a lot easier if we can color code these different categories instead of creating a different calendar for each other them. So if you would, could you update us on the likelihood that Google might offer this new feature???

Thanks, Xavier

Hi ChefCarolyn,

GoogleCalendar doesn't currently supportevent-level color changes. You could create different calendars for meetings, hobbies, etc. and just work with each feed separately. Canyouaddthis to the feature request page? I'd like to see how many other developers are interested in this functionality.

Cheers, Lane

I would like to categorize my calendar by color per type ofevent. While I know that wecanassign different colors to different calendars, it would be useful to separate out business meetings from hobbies, 2nd jobs, etc...

Thanks Kulvinder for the question and Philipp for the followup.

Categoriesare not currently supported by the Calendar implementation of theeventkind. I have filed a documentation bug to address this discrepancy.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

According to the documentation, it is possible toaddcategories. I have not had any luck with that though, thecategorieswere getting dropped. Maybe it happened since I used @scheme = "user-tag" similar to the example with the Contact kind, if you are lucky my example below works.

Seehttp://code.google.com/apis/gdata/elements.html#gdEventKind

There is a note that labelscanbe made with

<category label="mycategory"/>
