coloring coding appointments

[Britneyviles1]

I’m a huge fan of Square and love how easy it makes managing my appointments, but I’d really appreciate having more control over the color customization. It would be great if we could input our own hex codes, or have a bigger color palette to choose from like vagaro allows, so we can match our brand colors and make the calendar more personalized.

Right now, the color options are helpful, but being able to pick exact colors with hex codes would make a big difference in organizing appointments and keeping everything looking consistent with our brand. 

I think a lot of users would benefit from this, and I’d love to see it as an option moving forward.

Hi @Britneyviles1 ! Thank you for providing this feedback. 

Currently, while Square Appointments offers a preset color palette, here are some ways to maximize the existing color options:

1. Calendar Organization Tips:

   • Use the available colors strategically by assigning similar shades to related service categories
   • Consider grouping services by color family to maintain visual organization
   • Utilize the labeling and naming features alongside colors for clear differentiation

2. Brand Consistency Workaround:

   • Choose the preset colors that most closely align with your brand colors
   • Consider using the closest shade in the same color family as your brand colors
   • Remember you can still maintain brand consistency through your customer-facing materials like receipts and email communications

I hope this helps!
