The red color is coming from your app’s Primary color. You can either change the brand color from red to green or you can add a category field (column type color) and set the initial value to Green.

#1 - Add a column named “Category” to your spreadsheet
#2 - Regenerate your column structure
#3 - Change that column’s type as Color
#4 - Type Green into initial value
#5 - Open the Calendar view > View options
#6 - Select the created Category field as Category

Hi @Oscar_Rossini

The color will change depending on the value you set.
It could be anything.

Is there a way to set the color? like for Category A is green, B is blue, C is red, etc

Whichever column you identify as the Category in the calendar view, will determine the color. If that column is of type 'color' then it's value should be reflected as the color in the view. Therefore you just need a formula in that column to determine the color based upon whatever logic you want to use. For example:

SWITCH( 
  [MainCategory], 
  "Category A", "Green", 
  "Category B", "Blue", 
  "Category C", "Red", 
  "Black" 
)
  

Another option would be to store the color attribute in a category table and then use an expression to look it up based upon the main category value. This would be more flexible than hard coding the colors in the expression.
