Description

First, thank you all for your great work on the nextcloud calender.

I often create events in the same calendar but use different colors for work/private/etc. It would be great if the 12 standard colors that appear by clicking the color selector could be changed (best per user) - or if it would be possible to choose the color by entering the hex-code of the color.
Unfortunately it is quite impossible to choose the same color for the same type of events currenty.

Would it be possible to enhance the color-picker by one of these functions?

Thank you in advance.

Research direction

Start at the calendar entry color selector and trace how its 12 standard colors are presented and applied. First clarify whether the goal is a per-user customizable palette, hex-code input, or both; done should mean users can reliably select and reuse distinct colors for event types.
