In month view the color I assigned for a resource is only used to draw a thin - close to invisible - border. The main color is all the same. The color per event should be the same as in the agenda view.
could you provide a screenshot as here it's correct.

This is still a settings problem: KOrg preferences -> Views -> Month Views. There's a radio group at the bottom of that tab where you can select to use category colors only. I assume you use the category color for the border and the resource color for the fill. If I'm right, we can close here, but I'm a little confused by the new variety of resolutions. I guess it's "NOT A BUG"?
Agenda View and Month View settings both show * Category inside, calendar outside It seems that the month view has a different behavior than the agenda view when there is no category specified for an event. It seems agenda view uses the calendar color inside when no category is defined, but month view uses a default color in this case.
I submitted a patch that makes it more consistent: https://phabricator.kde.org/D16088 In particular, the color for items with no category is only used in Category-Only color settings with this patch. This is exactly what the Settings dialog of KOrganizer states (in "Preferences -> Colors and Fonts -> Colors -> Categories"). Agenda View already had it right; the patch fixes Month View. You might argue that this is not what the user probably wants: I would expect to identify items with no category in any setting that usually displays the category in any way. However, I think it is most sensible to first fix the current, inconsistent behavior, and ask for other behavior in a separate feature request. Feel free to disagree.
Git commit 0b12580c8e848089a373dadae1c3e12b3ea0a531 by Denis Kurz. Committed on 11/10/2018 at 21:22. Pushed by dkurz into branch 'Applications/18.08'. Fix color inconsistency for unset categories. Summary: KOrganizer's preference dialog states that the color for unset categories is only used on the categories-color-only setting. However, this is currently not true for Month View, where in each of the mixed settings (category-border, resource-fill, or vice versa) the unset-category color is also used. With this patch, Month View considers the unset-category color only in the category-only setting, just like Agenda View. FIXED-IN: 5.9.3 Test Plan: By testing all four combinations for coloring frame and fill a month item, I confirmed Bug 382185: the color for items with no categories is used in CategoryOnly as well as in mixed settings (i.e., all settings but ResourceOnly). After applying this patch, I tested them again and confirmed that the unset-category color is only used in CategoryOnly, while in mixed settings, the resource color is used instead, making it consistent to Agenda View and the settings dialog.
