Student Planner — Google Calendar Palette
Student Planner assigns Google Calendar's own strongest native colors to the six categories every semester actually has: classes, study blocks, assignments, exams, clubs, and personal time. Exams take tomato red and assignments take tangerine, so anything graded is always warm-colored and impossible to miss.

How do I use the Student Planner palette in Google Calendar?
Install the CalPalette Chrome extension, open any event in Google Calendar, and click the "+" button next to the default colors.

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.
