CalHue — Colors & Backgrounds for Google Calendar

CalHue is a Chrome extension that adds custom event colors, coordinated palettes and your own background image to Google Calendar on the web.

Any color for any event

Right-click an event in Google Calendar. Below Google's own colors, CalHue adds your palettes, a color picker and a field for an exact HEX code.

• Recurring events: apply a color to one occurrence or to the whole series. Cancel, and nothing changes.
• Edits in Google Calendar: when you later change a recurring series, such as moving it to another time or editing this and following events, CalHue carries your colors over.
• Reset: choose Reset to Google color in the same menu to return to the original color.
• Every view: colors show in day, week, month and schedule views.

Palettes

CalHue starts with two palettes, Sage & Plum and Coastal Morning. You can add your own, and duplicate a preset to adjust it.

• Each palette holds up to six colors.
• Name, edit, duplicate and delete your palettes in the extension popup.
• Checkboxes choose which palettes appear in the event menu.
• Colors you enter by HEX are remembered in My colors while it has room.
• Changing, hiding or deleting a palette never recolors events you have already colored.

Your own background

Choose an image from your device in the extension popup. CalHue paints it behind your calendar, with a veil and an optional blur to keep events readable. Replace or remove it whenever you like.

The hillside is an example of a user-selected image. CalHue does not include a wallpaper library.

Get started

1. Install CalHue in Chrome, then open or refresh Google Calendar on the web.
2. Right-click an event and choose a color.
3. Click the CalHue icon in the Chrome toolbar to manage palettes or add a background.
