Earthy — Google Calendar Palette
Earthy is built from natural pigments — clay brown, moss green, terracotta, and muted brick red. These colors sit close together in warmth, so the calendar feels cohesive, while the green/brown split still cleanly separates active categories from routine ones.

Google Calendar's built-in picker doesn't include these exact colors. With the CalPalette Chrome extension you can enter each hex code once, save the whole Earthy palette, and reuse it on any event.

How do I use the Earthy palette in Google Calendar?
Install the CalPalette Chrome extension, open any event in Google Calendar, and click the "+" button next to the default colors. Enter the hex codes from this page (#8D6E63, #7A918D, #6B8E23, #A98467, #C97B63, #B23A48) to build the palette, then save it so every color is one click away on future events.
Can I use these hex codes without an extension?
Google Calendar's standard picker only offers its built-in colors, so these exact hex values aren't available natively. You can pick the closest built-in colors by eye, or use CalPalette to apply the exact hex codes.
