Calendar (Yosemite): Rename a calendar or change its color
A calendar is identified by its name and color, which you can change at any time.
Changing a calendar’s color changes the color of all of its events. If you want an event to have a different color, either change its calendar’s color or move the event to a calendar with a different color.
In Month view, timed events are marked with a dot in the calendar’s color; all-day events use the calendar’s color as their background.
