my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

Same for me today. Glad to see others are having this issue as I thought it might just be a 'local issue', and it was driving me nuts. Of course this made no sense, as all the calenders on all my devices are synced via iCloud.


I have always used green for all my work appointements (calender), and no matter what i do, they are changing to purple.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

Apple is crazy, they are starting to act just like Microsoft, today I am back to Green, I do not do anything I just watch the stupidity continue, personally I like the fact that work for purple and green was home instead of green and green for both ~

Just a matter of time and they will start deleting appointments again that already happened to me once !
