Several clients honour and/or allow setting/changing the calendar-color property (http://apple.com/ns/ical/:calendar-color). Would be nice to also see that in korganizer/.
This feature could also resolve a bug for me: korganizer frequently forgets my calender's colors and reassigns them new pseudo-random colors.
hi, Yes, I confirmed that. I am using 4.13.1 It would be nice if korganizer to set up colors calendar from dav server. Regards, Simon
Well, I can assign colours to my calenders. Bus as Stefan Huber states, they are forgotten frequently and reassigned randomly.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm running KDE 4.14.5 and Akonadi 1.13.0 on an up-to-date Chakra Linux.
I have several dozen calendars with carefully chosen colors. After entering them the first time, my system crashed and I no longer have the colors. I also really don't have the patience to add the colors again, if all the CalDAV software on the many devices I used in the past few years automatically fetches the CalDAV colors. Please do add this feature soon. BTW: I would have written a script to extract the color information and feed it to KOrganizer/Akonadi myself, but did not found where color information is stored in KOrganizer/Akonadi. Knowing about that location might also help my fellow posters here in this bug to backup and restore their colors locally. (Kubuntu 15.04 with KOrganizer 4.14.6 and Akonadi 1.13.0)
Colors are stored in ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc in [Category Colors2] If you set the colors manually, they are stored in a format like work=255,0,0 however, from time to time every color is set to: work=invalid and korganizer shows random colors again.

I confirm that KOrganizer forgets colours assigned to SELF-CREATED categories. KOrganizer Version 4.14.1 Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.2 Debian GNU/Linux stable See also: Bug 357914
This is also a (kind of) prerequisite before implementing the COLOR property <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7986#section-5.9>.

Git commit 3c90b8611a74593cd06391ba5eeba2b8130d0edf by Olivier CHURLAUD. Committed on 26/08/2017 at 11:56. Pushed by ochurlaud into branch 'master'. Korganizer can use CollectionColorAttributes for calendar colors KOHelper now calls the EventViews functions of helper.h instead of KOPrefs KOPrefs is not called anymore by Korganizer for colorResources managing.
