When using the collection calendar, I know it is possible to group by a column value, but it would be nice if I could customize the colors

For example: Green for a completed event, red for a delayed event, gray for a pending event.

The colors that are generated today when grouping do not seem effective to me

Completely agree. You have to guess a grouping value to determine the color it should be, which isn’t practical whatsoever.

Totally agree! It would be awesome if we could customize the colors on the collection calendar. It’s a bit tricky to distinguish between events with the current default colors. Adding the option to personalize the colors would be a game-changer and make things a lot simpler. Fingers crossed that this gets implemented soon!
