A quick look at Google Calendar doesn’t always tell you everything you need to know. When you manage multiple calendars simultaneously or try to keep track of all types of events, the most useful thing to do is color code them.
But Google Calendar has a limit of 11 standard colors you can assign to events, so there are limits to how creative you can get and how much differentiation you can achieve. Today, Google is lifting those restrictions, expanding the default palette, and introducing a range of customizable color options.
I never thought Google Calendar could heal a broken heart until I saw my friend’s secret settings
Google Calendar has never felt so personal
More predefined colors and color mixer
There are now 24 standard colors available across all platforms for Google Calendar. Additionally, users on the web or those using the Google Calendar API can now access the full RGB color picker. While the grid offers instant access to up to 200 colors, the dedicated mixer technically unlocks millions of color variations via special Hex codes. Best of all, these custom colors will sync to your mobile display, even though you can only create them in a desktop browser.
In its announcement of the feature expansion, Google said, “This fulfills a long-standing feature request from both business and personal users for more customizable options.”
It’s true, social media is filled with comments and annoyance from its users.
Then there is a solution. One user on Reddit even created multiple calendars, each tied to one type of event, just to maximize his color options.
Another Reddit user said, “I use Google Calendar a lot and one thing that always bothers me is how limited the event colors are. After a while, everything starts to blend together and it gets harder to scan the calendar quickly.” They ended up creating their own Chrome extension.
Check your account for access
The expanded color palette is now rolling out to all Google Calendar users, both those with personal accounts and Workspace accounts, and will be available to all users in about two weeks.
This feature is enabled by default. To access it, open Google Calendar and open the event invitation. Then click Edit and next to the name, select the current calendar color. You can add color labels or create your own. Then click save. You can also create or assign color labels by right-clicking on an existing event invitation.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
