Webmail colours events by the calendar they belong to, so the easiest way to colour-code by category is to create a separate calendar for each one — Work, Personal, Travel — and give each its own colour. This guide shows how to create a category calendar and choose its colour.

Step 1 — Open the calendar menu

Click the + button next to My Calendars in the sidebar, then select Add new Calendar (blue).

Step 2 — Name the calendar after a category

Enter a category name such as *Work* in the Calendar Name field (orange).

Step 3 — Choose a colour

Select a colour for the category from the Calendar Color swatches (blue). Every event you add to this calendar takes on this colour.

Tip: Repeat these steps to create one calendar per category — for example a blue Work calendar and a green Personal calendar — so your week is colour-coded at a glance.

Step 4 — Save the calendar

Click Save Calendar (green) to create the category calendar.
