This basically seemed like a very limited version of the Time Insights functionality for non-work/school google accounts. I love that functionality. This doesn't measure up. Pros - you can label the colors for your calendar Cons - HARD to find the place where you can actually set the color labels -labels are ONLY visible when you hover over the choices during color selection -the labels do not display next to the color once it's chosen for the event -limited to default colors (no custom colors can be labeled)

It works on the web if you leave the original color name in the left column and the new name in the right column. It would be 5 stars if it also worked to change the names on my google calendar phone app but I cannot seem to do that.
