en Love it in the PC format, but the colors don't work on the Calendar app on the pixel, so it is useless for me now. I spend half my time on the calendar app on the phone.

en I love being able to set my own colors, but this extension is making my calendar load incredibly slow.

en It is a nice concept, but even thought i select the option to save changes for "All events", it does not work and i have to manually change the color of every single event in my calendar even if it is a repeating one, and that is a lot of work i do not want to do... And also it does not sync to phone, so i just did all that for nothing.

en Hi, this is great! Exactly what I was looking for. How do I get the new color to stay on a series of the same event? Thanks!

en I tried it on my events but after a few hours it stopped working. It does show the colors are added but whenver I would pick my custom colors, it just goes back to the prepicked color by google.

en I do use Gcal some on my phone, but not the biggest deal that it does not show on mobile since I mainly use Gcal for detailed scheduling on my laptop. I do however, wish it did apply to all the events in the series. But I am so happy now to not have to 'share' colors with certain types of events as there is just not enough stock colors for all my event types and I don't want to make multiple calendars where you CAN add more colors. I am glad there are others out there that also wanted more colors!! Thanks for making it!! Oh! AND, you can even use your own hex ####! Awesome!!!

en Pretty on the desktop app, but when I look at the calendar on my ipad the colors, they don't transfer. Spent a lot of time updating the colors on my calendar just to realize it did nothing across the app! Sad! Also the reason it took so long to update the calendar in the first place is because it won't apply to event series! Again, it's pretty on the desktop but definitely would be better with a few updates.
