Google. This is a big day for people who like a clean and organized Google Calendar. The platform is expanding its event coloring options from 11 predefined hues all the way up to 200. Now even the busiest among us won't have to double or triple up colors while planning their week or month.
Here's how it works. There are now 24 default color options, but web users also have access to a full RGB color picker, so you can customize your calendars with whatever hue you prefer. However, mobile users just have the 24 colors and no RGB picking tool. I'm not particularly bothered by this limitation, as everyone I know uses the web tool for primary scheduling and the mobile app for keeping an eye on things.
