Pro Tips for Adding Color to Notion Calendar

1. Use Colored Labels in a Select or Multi-Select Property
   To add color coding to your calendar, create a “Select” or “Multi-select” property in your database. Assign different colors to each label, such as “High Priority,” “Meeting,” or “Deadline.” These colors will appear alongside the event titles in your calendar view.

2. Apply Background Colors with Emojis or Icons
   Although Notion doesn’t offer direct background coloring, you can use colored emojis (🟥, 🟩, 🟦) or icon indicators in the event titles or tags. This helps visually distinguish between different types of events.

3. Customize Views for Each Color Group
   Create filtered calendar views based on your color-coded tags. For example, you can create a separate calendar view that only shows “Urgent” (red-tagged) events. This enhances focus and organization.

4. Combine Colors with Status or Project Tags
   Use colored status properties (like “In Progress,” “Completed,” or “Waiting”) along with category tags to convey more context in a single glance. Each tag can have its unique color.

5. Keep a Consistent Color Scheme
   To avoid confusion, assign and stick to a specific color system. For example, red for urgent tasks, green for completed items, and blue for informational events.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Not Using Database Properties
   You can’t add colors directly to items in a basic Notion calendar without database properties. Always turn your calendar into a database first to unlock color-coding options.

2. Mixing Up Similar Colors
   Using too many similar shades can make your calendar hard to read. Stick to high-contrast colors for clarity.

3. Overcomplicating Labels
   Don’t add too many tag options. Stick with a manageable number of categories to keep your calendar organized and useful.

4. Forgetting to Update Tags
   If you move events around or change their purpose, remember to update their labels so the color coding stays accurate.

5. Ignoring View Settings
   If your colored properties aren’t visible, check your calendar view settings and make sure the correct properties are toggled on for display.
