Lack of colors in Sharepoint Local
Hi all,
Today I got the task to create somewhat of a vacation planer. Basically a calendar where you can enter the time spent on vacation / the period when people are not at work.
And for each one of them, I assigned a color.
So here goes my question: As you can see in my screenshot, there aren't many colors at hand.
Could I add more colors to the existing ones?
Hi Josh32,
Unfortunately, SharePoint offers a limited set of colors for event categories in the calendar. Adding more colors directly isn't possible, but you can try some workarounds:
Color Overlays: Create separate calendars and overlay them for different people or teams with their own colors.
Overlay a SharePoint calendar with a calendar from Exchange or SharePoint - Microsoft SupportCustomization (on SharePoint Server): you can use CSS customization to adjust the color palette.

Color palettes and fonts in SharePoint | Microsoft LearnUse Other Attributes: Instead of colors, try adding text labels to differentiate vacation plans.
