More calendar colors
Have more colors to organize calendars, having less than 10 isn't ideal for organizing multiple calendars at once

Are there any updates on when more colors will be added Microsoft? The 9 color palette is pretty bad in both pastel and bold. :(

Indeed. 9 colors are too limiting especially when you have parts of your org migrating from Gsuite to 365. Gsuite had so many color choices.

Totally agree. Microsoft - get this done!

Its ridiculous that there are only 8 color choices for color coding calendars in the web version of M365 Calendar. Our org just switched from Google Suite to M365 and how can you not have almost unlimited color options? I have dozens of shared calendars, and they all have to be these eight colors? Give us options. Its 2020, for crying out loud!

Instead of a limited color palette which will never work for all users, please just provide an RGB color selector so people can customize their calendar colors. Or at the very last provide ~50 different colors to choose from.

The available color palette is so limited and several of the options appear very similar to one another! Please at least add a yellow and/or let users define an RGB color!

My business has just moved from Google Calendar to Outlook, and the limited colour pallet available in Outlook's calendar is frustrating. Please provide a greater selection plus an option for the user to select any RGB colour.

All of the new colors are light for me, and completely unusable. I want to return to the prior bright colors for the calendar categories. Not sure why a comment here says the old one was light and the new is dark. I need the dark, bright colors. It was much easier to find things.

please add the "light colors" option back to the calendar part of new Outlook, i have a shared calendar that i have assigned yellow color which shows fine in "old" Outlook but as soon as i engage new Outlook that color is not available in the palette options so it changes to gray. i recognize the events on this calendar by color when i have many calendars open at the same time so it is important for me to have the yellow as a option.

Calendar will be better with more color to seperate date/event for quick view. It is too hard to see the date and where the border of block/column.

As title says, we need more calendar colors. I cannot adequately keep track of all of all the calendars I organize. Also, lighter colors. All of the new office 365 colors are dark.

the category colors on the old outlook were more pronounced. I use those colors for my organization, and the colors arent bold enough to see or use toward organization

When I open my calendar, I would like to see more than one thing there inthe date window.
I would also like the colour coding system to be designable to suit my needs, such as naming purple 'personal', etc. -

I need more than 9 colors and more distinct colors. I look at more than 9 calendars at a time every day.
