I wish to mark some events by colour on my calendar. In the same way that I can change the colour of event on Google calendar. Can I do it in glide? ---

I think the easiest would be to use emoji. An IF column can look at a specific column value and return a specific emoji, such as 🔴🟢🔵🟥🟩🟦. Then you can append that to the beginning of the event title using a template column. Then display that template in your calendar. ---

Hi Jeff, will this show the emoji + the default Glide colour? ---

Emoji’s are characters, so they will display just like any other letters in a word. It would be separate from any other default glide colors. ---

yeah I imagined, so it would create a lot of confusion having both colors. Strange that glide does let us use custom colors in the calendar ---

Emoji works just like text. It’s not an image url. Just copy and paste it like you would any other piece of text. If it’s not copying well from from the forum, you can instead copy any emoji from [https://emojipedia.org/](https://emojipedia.org/) ---
