Adds more colors to Google Calendar!

Adds more colors to Google Calendar's color selection menu.

HOW TO USE:
This extension adds the ability to insert custom colors into Google Calendar events. Upon installing the extension, you might need to refresh Google Calendar for it to load.

Once the extension has been installed, you can access the custom color creation by either right clicking events (accessing the color palette), or double clicking the event and accessing the other color palette within the advanced event details page.

You can verify that the extension has been installed properly by the existence of an additional circle in the color palette with a plus (+) sign. Clicking on this plus sign should prompt you to insert a custom color defined by a hexcode (For example, typing 000000 will give you the color black. One recommended place to find colors is https://htmlcolorcodes.com/). Pressing "OK" on the color entry prompt will add this custom color to your color palette for coloring events.

You can remove custom colors from your color palette by clicking on the extension icon in your browser's extension bar. This will open a small window where clicking on a color will remove it from the extension and your color palette.

NEW FEATURE: The window that was used for removing custom colors now contains a button to toggle between cloud and local mode. Originally, this extension only ran on cloud mode. This allowed your calendar colors to be synced across different computers and browsers. However, it also came with the limitation of max 512 events. Now, with the local mode, this limitation has been increased dramatically. Choose whichever option is better for you! You can toggle between the two as well, and they are managed independently.

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Note:
The colors are only available on the web version of Google Calendar.
The colors will only be consistent on one browser on a computer unless Google Chrome sync is enabled, in which case the colors will be tied to your Google Chrome profile.

Loved this ext at first. Having additional colors to organize with, and colors I actually like, was amazing, so I was so disappointed when the color coding kept reverting back to default color when I refreshed or logged back into Calendar. I see from the other reviews that I am not alone, and there is no long-term fix. I will be uninstalling and keeping my fingers crossed for an ext that actually works.

I love it so much, and super easy to use. Two things: I wish the sync worked with my phone, and it would be nice to change the text color as well, light colors can be hard to read. All together great, and I'd recommend it to anyone

The app had been working perfectly fine, but recently I've noticed some problems. First of all, colors are not appearing as I configured them. Also, they do not appear on the entire calendar, colors disappear one March is finished. I really love this app but I think we need updates and support in order to be able to keep using it.

Really love this extension but am having a few issues.

I don't see an option to delete colors right now after I click the extension in the top right. Also, I can seem to change other people's event colors and it saves on the color swatch next to the event after you click on it, but it doesn't change in actual weekly calendar view. Hope these are resolved soon!

I really really wanted this to work but after spending 2-3 tiring hours working to change all my different events to specific colors, every time I refreshed it would result to the default colors of my calendar. Unfortunately the colors just didn't stick. Please let me know if this gets fixed, thank you!
