## [#](#why-use-colors)🗂 Why Use Colors?

Color-coding your events makes it simple to:

* Visually scan your calendar and understand your day at a glance.
* Group related events (e.g. project work, personal tasks, team meetings).
* Reduce the mental load of tracking priorities and categories.

Each event’s color will appear:

* As a highlight **within the calendar grid**.
* On the **event card itself**, for consistency and quick recognition.
