Custom calendar colors in iOS13

Hi guys,


Since I’d upgraded my iPhone to IOS 13.1 and iPad Pro to iPad OS 13.1 the calendar app doesn’t work like it should.


All calendars with custom colors are blue in the standard Calendar app. If I open the same calendars in Spark Mail on the same iPhone or iPad or on Mac, they do have their own custom colors.


Do you know how I get the custom colors back in the Calendar app? (They are already set to ‘custom’, but the colors stays blue).


Thanks!! :)

Hey, it's me again.

As I updated my phone to iOS 13.1.3 today the bug still persists. BUT you can create new icloud calendars with custom colors, they actually show on the phone correctly. Seems like only old calendars from before the update to iOS 13 are affected - and only specific color ranges of these old calendars.

Sooo I made new calendars with the same colors I once had, and migrated the old calendars into the new ones, and BOOM it works prefectly fine now!

Hope this may help feature readers with simmilar problems.

Updated my iPhone to iOS 13.1.2 today and had to realize this bug wasn't fixed by now :(

Calenders do see custom colors (it's the correct color besides "custom") but on the calendar view they all appear as grey. If you change the color to one of the standard ones it does work perfectly fine, but I need other colors than the given ones. Please fix this in iOS 13.2!
