Supposedly, you can change the colors of calendars from the iPhone now. How!? (In particular, I'm trying to do it for google calendars synced via exchange, but I can't see how to do it with iCloud ones, either.)

You can do this in the Calendar app.

1) Tap Calendars in the upper left corner:

Calendars button

2) Then tap Edit:

Edit button

3) Select the calendar you want to change the colour of:

Calendar selection

4) Pick the colour you want. If you want a more extensive selection than what's in the list, you need to do it from iCal on your Mac.

Thanks for the hint, but this only works with iCloud calendars... Google calendar colors cannot be changed this way... – endelight Jan 9 at 10:25

I am not sure why this did not work for @endelight (so this may not apply to them), but I have two Google Calendars. One was added manually, the other via a profile (by the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple). The one that I added manually, I can change the color on, the one that was done via the profile I can't. I am guessing because it is in a profile, it is locked down. – Jim Jan 19 at 15:06
