Is there a way to color-code calendar events by type on an I-pad?

I’ve used g-mail Calendar for years on my pc and Android devices. On those platforms I was able to assign a color to any given entry. Can that be done on Apple products?

To clarify, I have seen responses which indicate you can assign a color to different calendars. But that is not what I am trying to do. I would like to be able to assign a color to a specific event within a given calendar. For example, I could choose one color for a seminar, a different color for a school sports event, and other colors for other types of events. I find that very helpful in locating a given appointment at a glance

Thanks.
