New color categorization in Calendar to better understand how you’re spending your time
Google Calendar is a powerful, free service you can use to organize your schedule and coordinate events with others. It has many useful features, including the ability to share calendars with others and easily switch what is currently being displayed. You can access your calendar from any computer or mobile device as long as you are signed in to your Google account.
Use color labels to track calendar entries
To review how you spend your time, you can assign color labels to your calendar entries and track them in Time Insights. Learn more about Time Insights. Important: The color labels you assign to your events are only visible to you and anyone with "manage to share" access to your calendar
