Q: iCloud Calendars Changing Colors

I have been having the same problem with calendar colors since early this morning with my Home and Work calendars.  I am also noticing the Reminders App changes its view by itself to Personal reminders on my MacBookPro running the lastest version of Mountain Lion. It will not stay on the view I select for more than a minute or two.  I have also noticed that syncing of Notes between my iPhone and my MacBookPro using iCloud appears to be down.  The joys of cloud computing.  :/

I'm having the exact same problem and it also started on August 13th.  The colored dots are changing colors, in my case from Green to Purple.  I have different colors for specific jobs and now they are all the same color.  Very strange.  Sometimes they go back on their own.... issue when synching??  Apple's servers???  Please address!!

Very frustrating indeed.  I'm having the same issue that started yesterday, 8/14.  The Home calendar appears to want to default to Blue and the Work caledar appears to want to default to Purple.  This seems pretty consistent with the other numerous threads I've read here on this.  These calendars will then periodically change between your selected colors and these "defaults."  Other shared calendars are impacted as well and it seems that iCloud will also select some default color for them.  My wife's shared Home calendar wants to default to Green on my end.

To stabilize the color scheme to avoid all of the constant changing, I went to my iPhone and set the calendar colors to the "the other color" or apparent default color that iCloud keeps flipping to.  It's not an acceptable solution at all because I liked my old color scheme, but for the time being until Apple gets this fixed, my calendar colors are at least stabilized and are no longer changing colors everytime I look at it.  Now to get used the different colors I've had switch to due iCloud's preferences. :/ 

What is the purpose of posing questions here if Apple doesn't answer them? I have the same problem. All of a sudden tonight the entries for my most used calendar all changed color. I tried repeatedly to get it to go back, and can change the color of all my other calendars, but not this one--which I need to change.

I removed it as the default calendar, and then tried again, but no luck, the color won't go to the one I want.

What gives, Apple. Can someone in the company please respond with a fix?

I have been using iCloud since the first day it was available and haven't had any real problems.

Today, I looked at the events under my work calendar and all of a sudden they are all purple instead of blue.  I have tried to change them back to blue on my Mac, my iPad my iPhone and  on iCloud.com and after about a minute or two it will revert back to purple.  What is going on?

Hi BethBee,

We are not Apple here. This is a user to user technical forum. Since this issue appears to have just started, we don't have any insight as to what it is or why it is occurring.

You can send your feedback to Apple directly:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/

but there is no one from Apple here....

Sorry,

GB

Thanks for the explanation. Since the forums is where Apple sends people looking for answers, I thought they might visit the forums and post answers that are open. I made an appointment to speak with someone tomorrow. If I get an answer, I will post it here.

Cheers.

That would be most excellent and helpful to other posters! Thanks BethBee!

Cheers,

Thanks, dtobin.  Like the others who have posted, I started experiencing this problem today.  The timing can't just be a coincidence; this is most likely an issue with Apple's servers.

Same thing here, I had the problem a few weeks ago, I even called Apple about it and never heard back.

The problem indeed just went away a few days later, but since today it's back again.

I guess it'll fix itself eventually like last time (or Apple will) - but until then it's very annoying.

My calendar looks like Barbies dreamhouse.

Same here.  I run 8 calendars through icloud, sync'd to 3 devices - most events are the same colour tonight - it is making life a little difficult to distinguish what I'm doing to tomorrow Apple.  Please fix quickly, you are misbehaving like a Windows machine

Same here. Back in august my iCloud calendars started to change their colors on their own, but I could change then back to my color choice. Today they started again, this time with pink and mauve, somewhat like Baribie's Dreamhouse, as kimarui suggested. But now it's blocking me for set my color choices! For the worse, Apple seens to ignore this thread completely, despite it being almost two months old!
