Increase the number of color options in the Outlook Calendar palette from 9 to 16-25, increase contrast, and allow user editing of colors.
I find that I cannot change the color of agenda items or calendar items for my email accounts in Microsoft Outlook. I use various Android apps on my tablet and phone, that allow me to show Agenda items and Calendar items. If I use gmail, I can easily select a color, whereas with Outlook accounts I cannot change the color to suit my preferences. Also provide an option or feature to set different events with different colors in Calendar as well as in Categories in Microsoft Outlook 2016.

I, too, hate the new color palette which lacks contrast and was a poor choice. Microsoft, are you actually listening to your customers? Change the colors back or give users the option to choose a different color palette.

It is annoying to see closely matching colors in the new palette.
Please a way to go back to the previous/bold/contrast colors or let users make their own palette of colors. -

Please bring back the bold calendar colour options - these new ones don't provide enough contrast, especially when the current day is also highlighted in that colour.

Why did you force feed us these terrible pastel colors! The old palette was much better and provided good, visible contrast. Yet another Microsoft feature that reduced functionality, usability, and customer satisfaction

I would like to make cool backgrounds in my events and add in holiday decorations, maybe a little simple emojis. Animated emojis, I think that it would help people remember the events.

I would like to see more colours available to set the calendars as, I have multiple calendars to keep my life organised (free time,medical,work,school) and it is irritating that I have so few colours avaliable to choose from and having multiple in the same colour doesn't always work

Allow users to add their own colours...the colour palette is too restricted.

We need to be able to choose bolder colors to make items stand out relative to their importance. More color choices, please.

Why can't you just add ability to edit colors (Hue, Sat, Lum, Red, Green, Blue) like in other MS apps. Also increase slots from 25 to 48.

Agreed. I dislike the limited and feeble pastel color schemes provided in Outlook, OneNote and Sticky Notes. Sometimes I want a bold color to make something very obvious and unforgettable!

Quit whining about colors, you deplorable bunch! Be glad it is not shades of grey, that way even fewer people would be offended, and Microsoft wants to be the Grey Eminence of computing world, the more boring the better. They probably kowtow to the color-blind people who have been complaining of discrimination and demand reparations.
If you want colors (colours) perhaps you should switch to Apple products, I bet they offer millions of colors.
Spoiled scum you are, colors, you want colors, WTF is wrong with you ?!? -

Please revert to the old colour palette. Bold colours are far more effective for easy viewing of the calendar. Now these washed out shades make many of my different appointments look like they belong to the same categories.
PLEASE REVERT BACK TO OLD COLOUR PALETTE!
