Q: iCloud Calendars Changing Colors

Although if I change it back it can stay normal for a few hours and then change or it can change right away =/

Same problem here, too. Apple, do something please. Thank you!

I have the same problem with the colour change but it is only on my Busycal. iphone colours are fine, so is iCal and iCloud and Google Calendar. Hopefully they fix it soon its driving me nuts as I have 8 calendars and they are all grey!

Day 3 and I'm still having the issue across all of my devices.  I use BusyCal on my Mac and asked their support team about this.  They told me that they have reported the problem to Apple but couldn't provide any more info on a timeframe for a fix.

I hope they fix it soon.  I have 6 calendars none shared either... scary to think things like this can happen... u hope that one day our calendars don't just disappear one day... That would be the worst... thanks for keeping us posted BethBee! :-)

I'm having the same problem. My exchange calendar color works fine, but every iCloud calendar (all shared) keep changing colors.

Frustrating.

Same here. This is ridiculous. I tried changing the colors via iCloud.com and OSX's iCal but they revert back to whatever color they had. Same happens on my iPhone 5s.

I'm having the same issue and have seen this on other Macs/iPhones/iPads before.  I have a Verizon iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.2 and my Macbook Pro Retina is running 10.8.5 (latest Mountain Lion with patches installed).

I am having this issue as well now. All of our calendars are now blue, grey, purple or pink. It's hard to track who is supposed to be where in the office. Is there a limit in the number of calendars we're allowed to have open a once?

Also having the same problem here. My Home calendar keeps switching itself to Blue and Work to Purple which is confusing my 'set in my ways' brain!! I have tried changing them on my Mac, iPhone and on the iCloud web interface - but nothing seems to work. In fact the iCloud web interface automatically switches the colour back immediately after I select my preference.

Off to the Apple feedback page I guess...

We're now in the third day of this glitch, with no annoucement of any resolution or estimated timeframe.  The problem is obviously spread far and wide, and has been confirmed in a ComputerWorld article:

For a company of Apple's resources, this is simply unacceptable.  Apple wants us to trust our data to iCloud, yet allows a flaw like this to persist for days on end, without even a formal acknowledgement?  Sure, this time it's "only" the label colors.  As etronics6 notes, what if our calendar data were to start disappearing altogether?  How many days would pass before the problem is addressed?  It gives me pause about trusting any sort of important data to iCloud.

Big sigh from me too. This is getting all too tedious with Apple now. There are so many bugs and little annoyances that it really does make you wonder how far their heads actually are up their own a****.

I cant help but think that the contact us forms we all fill in just get left in an inbox somewhere and never actually read.

Perhaps the "barbie dreamhouse" colours referred to in the article above are part of the iOS7 theme - horrible colours and gimmicks aimed at teenagers to try and boost sales.

Kas90025,

Trust our data, right?!!!  Gives u a lot of confidence, when crazy stuff like this happens...

I also had some issues of recurrences in my calendars showing up on one device & not others... Spoke with apple tech & they could not get me through the issue... I kind of fixed myself... It's just crazy...  I finally just have to live with what I get on those... They r recurrences, so I kind of know what they r, but not always... Anyways.  

If they screw up my work calendar which is now purple instead of green... That will cripple my company!!!  Not showing up for appointments would not be a good thing for a small biz like mine... I fix computers & I rely on what is on my calendar... So I pray that, that never happens...

I hope Apple reads these threads & takes them to heart!

I hope they fix the problem soon, with no loss of data!

Got the same issue here since a few days. Colors changing constantly, no matter what I do or where I change them (icloud.com, iOS, MacBook iCal or Busycall. With the next sync they are back to black again.

Very annoying.

Same exact issue, same timing—my normally calm blue "Work" calendar is now a lurid and gaudy pink, which doesn't really say "work" to me (or at least not the kind of work I do!). I think that some of the more heated comments on this thread (of the "how dare Apple not fix this instantly!") are perhaps a little excessive for a purely cosmetic bug, so I'll just register my mild disapproval and earnest desire for Apple to fix this as soon as it can.
