    Outlook Calendar events changed color.


    I'm using Outlook.live.com. on Windows 10. I'm just using the online version of Outlook. My calendar events used to be blue with an option to categorize them a different colour after creating them. Now they are starting off as purple. I cannot find how to change the default colour back to blue.

    Thanks for any assistance provided.

    Is the colour coming from a theme?

    Open Calendar, click on gear, upper right.

    Hi Ken,

    Could you see if changing theme colour changes your base colour. You can switch it right back.

    Hi Ken,

    Apologies for not responding sooner. I am working double shifts. I did try changing the theme colour and while that functions fine it has no effect on the calendar event colour.

    Here is something of interest. if I right click on an existing Event. Then select Categorize it shows Blue as the top colour. Purple is the fourth down the list. If I then select Manage Categories Purple is at the top and Blue is second.

    If you go to your calendar.

    Then click on Calendar on the left (or hover over), three dots appear, click on dots, a colour option should appear.

    My hero! Oh thanks so much Ken! Everything is back to normal. I keep trying to use the Thank button but it says that I must spread some reputation before thanking you again. Thanks Ken for being persistent and solving my problem

    You are welcome.


    What is crazy is there are so many places where things can be set.


    Glad we could help.
