Description

Hi,

First thanks for making such a great bit of software and second I had a look through open issues and didn't see this one already raised but sorry if I missed it.

I'm using khal version 0.10.3. At the moment if I set the color to an RGB value or use auto to pick the colour used on the server it will work fine in khal interactive

but not so fine with khal calendar (which is the one I use more often)

If I use the word values for color (i.e. light green, dark red, etc) both work fine.

Research direction

Reproduce the RGB and auto color settings with both khal interactive and khal calendar, comparing them with named color values. Trace how these commands render colors; done means RGB and auto colors work in non-interactive commands as they already do in khal interactive.
