Mobile Me Calendar/iCal colors not the same as iPhone?

Hey everyone, I just got myself an iPhone and Mobile Me. I got everything to sync, but the colored events on my Mac and my online "cloud" are not the same as the colored events on my iPhone.

any ideas?

My iPhone and the Cloud have the same colors (I set them in MobileMe Web Client). However, Outlook does not have the same colors.

Also, would be nice if MobileMe added more colors to choose from.

Apparently this is a bug on the iPhone.

I found the answer!

I hope this will help some other people out there having the same problem. I stole the following text from here, and it totally worked!

I found this article:

At the bottom in the comments section is the solution: When you sync from your Mac to MobileMe, it does show the correct colors, but the iPhone does not. So, go to MobileMe, and go to each calendar, and pick the "list of calendar actions" button (it is to the right of the Month drop down at the top of each calendar you select).

Select calendar info, and you'll see a screen which shows your calendar name and the correct color. Just click "ok" to save the color one more time, and it'll show up correct on yoru iphone.

One thing to note - when I synced with my Mac it saw this as a conflict between the two, so I had to pick either Mac or MobileMe, even though they both showed the same color.

Now my iphone, mobileme, and Mac all have the same colors without have to sync in any particular order.

Hope this helps!
