Summary

Adds more colors to Google Calendar's color selection menu.

HOW TO USE: This extension adds the ability to insert custom colors into Google Calendar events. Upon installing the extension, you might need to refresh Google Calendar for it to load.

Once the extension has been installed, you can access the custom color creation by either right clicking events (accessing the color palette), or double clicking the event and accessing the other color palette within the advanced event details page.

You can verify that the extension has been installed properly by the existence of an additional circle in the color palette with a plus (+) sign. Clicking on this plus sign should prompt you to insert a custom color defined by a hexcode (For example, typing 000000 will give you the color black. One recommended place to find colors is https://htmlcolorcodes.com/). Pressing "OK" on the color entry prompt will add this custom color to your color palette for coloring events.

You can remove custom colors from your color palette by clicking on the extension icon in your browser's extension bar. This will open a small window where clicking on a color will remove it from the extension and your color palette.

NEW FEATURE: The window that was used for removing custom colors now contains a button to toggle between cloud and local mode. Originally, this extension only ran on cloud mode. This allowed your calendar colors to be synced across different computers and browsers. However, it also came with the limitation of max 512 events. Now, with the local mode, this limitation has been increased dramatically. Choose whichever option is better for you! You can toggle between the two as well, and they are managed independently.

When I select a color from the hex code it shows up in the selector but then just changes to red on the event when I select it. Have tried uninstall and reinstall and still wont work. Finally gave up and looked around on chrome for another tool. I found one that actually works here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/add-more-colors-to-calend/jgemmpmngfhhnfgielmdjajdccchedap?hl=en I like to color coat my calendar for organization and the default options aren't enough. Wanted to share in case anyone else was looking for something like this that works.
