Description

Hey!

At the moment, if I want to choose a color for the new Event I'm creating, I need to always:

  1. click "More details"

  2. click on the current color circle

  3. select the color I want

  4. press Update


It would be great if I could either:

  1. be able to select the color at the time of creating the Event

or

  1. right click on the Event after creating it, and quickly select the color, with just one click

Google Calendar has this, when I right-click on an Event, which I used a lot:

  1. right click on the Event

  2. choose color

Done!


Many thanks!

Research direction

Start by tracing the event-creation and event-interaction UI described in the issue. Compare the two proposed entry points—choosing a color while creating an event or using a context action afterward—and confirm the existing color-selection flow. Done means a user can change an event color through a quicker, discoverable action without opening More details.
