Calendar colours broken suddenly, and odd new calendar called, "New List"?

Hi,

So, suddenly today iCloud has changed the colours of two or three of my calendars spontaneously after them being the same colour for months, and won't let me change them back - after a sync they just revert to whatever iCloud has decided they must now be.

I've checked in BusyCal (my default) and Calendar, and changes to either of them are just reverted on sync. There doesn't seem to be a way to change colours in iCloud itself.

Also, I now have a new calendar in iCloud all of a sudden called, "New List", with a tick next to it. If I delete it it just comes back on next sync. This doesn't appear in iCloud or in Calendar, only BusyCal.

Help?

EDIT: I'm running 10.8.5. Apple's Discussion board doesn't seem to want to let me change my device details no matter how hard I try.

Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 256GB SSD, 500GB HDD, 8GB RAM

I havent updated to the supplementary update yet... So I don't think that can be the problem. I think it's definitely to do with iCloud.

Also, someone on here ^ has come up with a solution, if you don't mind doing a bit of deleting and recreating calendars...

Same problem here. It seems to mainly pick on only one of my iCloud calendars and not the others. I do not use busy Cal, just iCal. It started when I updated my iPad to iOS7. It never happened before that.

I really can't delete the calendar. I refer to past events as reminders.

Same problem here too, calendar colours change fine (and stick) on iPhone (IOS7), IPad (IOS7) and iCloud but Calendar on the Mac keeps defaulting back after a refresh - **** annoying...

Apple seems to have solved the problem. This morning iCal showed a version 6.0 sign and my calendars had been restored to their original colors. Hope that this works for everyone

Yes, Apple have fixed it, though I didn't see my original colours restored as Humaart did. Still, all's well that ends well.
