Calendar color partners

Pick the color of every calendar attendee in one click.

The problem

In Odoo, the color of every calendar attendee is computed automatically from the partner ID. You cannot change it, and two contacts often end up with the same color — making the calendar hard to read.

What this module does

Manual color per partner

Events and attendee filters are colored from res.partner.color instead of a hash of the partner ID. You stay in full control of which contact gets which color.

One-click color picker

Hover any attendee in the calendar sidebar and a small color swatch appears. Click it to open a 12-color palette and switch the partner color instantly — the calendar refreshes by itself.

Highlights

  • Zero configuration — install and use.
  • Reuses the standard res.partner.color field, no extra column.
  • Pure frontend patch on the attendee calendar model and filter panel: no Python override, no impact on server performance.
  • Compatible with the standard Calendar app (no enterprise dependency).
  • Translatable (English / French shipped).
  • LGPL-3 license.

How to use

  1. Install Calendar color partner.
  2. Open the Calendar app.
  3. In the left sidebar, hover any attendee under "Attendees".
  4. Click the small color square that appears on the right of the row.
  5. Pick a color from the popover — events update immediately.

Compatibility

Tested on Odoo 18 Community. Depends only on the standard calendar module.
