How to Add Color to a Day iCal
If you own or work on a Macintosh computer, you may opt to use iCal for organizing all of your activities in one place. One feature of iCal is the ability to create separate calendars for different people or activities. For example you might want to have a calendar for work and a calendar for home. ICal automatically assigns a new color to each different calendar that you create, and allows you to choose which calendar you want to use for any given event.
