Hi.

So I migrated to a Samsung (unwillingly) and now I'm trying to figure out how this thing works, particularly in syncing my calendars. I currently use the Mac as my computer and Samsung as my phone. So here's what I did.
  1. I decided to use Apple Calendar on the Mac because obviously I can't use Fantastical anymore on the Samsung.
  2. I deleted all my calendars in Apple Calendar because I need to start from scratch.
  3. I figured the best way is to create the new calendars in Google Calendar (web version). I really hate Google Calendar but nevermind that. So I created the calendars (appointments, events, work, home, blah blah...) and I assigned COLORS for it. Not sure why Google decides to use color shades that resonate with poop colors. The more poopy they are, the better. So instead of fresh green, it has to be diarrhea green. Instead of sunny yellow, it's vomit yellow; vibrant calming-the-nerves-blue to sickly nauseating blue. Anyway.
  4. I open Apple Calendar and realize the poop is ALL OVER MY CALNEDAR! Like seriously? So nevermind, I go and change the poop versions of all the colors to bright and pastel and feminine and happy colors.
So I sync something, cuz I need to test this thing, right? Aside from taking like 5 to 10 minutes for the stupid thing to transfer my data from the Samsung to the Mac and vice versa, the event popped up successfully from my Samsung calendar into my Apple Calendar but lo and behold ALL the new fresh calendar colors are turned into poop!

Fine. So I change them one by one AGAIN. I go to Google Calendar web view and I change them there first but it seems there's no use. Every single time I refresh, the poop colors are back again.

So my question now... am I forced to live with poop for the rest of my Samsung life or is there a way to fix this?

I'm seriously annoyed.
Thank you.
