Customizing colors in Google Calendar allows you to visually organize your schedule, making it easier to distinguish between different types of events or calendars at a glance. You can easily change the color of your calendars to suit your preferences or organizational needs.
Steps to Change Your Google Calendar Color
Changing the color of a specific calendar in Google Calendar is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:
