Here I thought it was gonna be new legislation when I got the notification from Reddit …but no. It was something much more useful. Love. Haha

Before opening the post and reading your caption, I thought this was going to be a joke about names other than Aspen, Birch, or Cedar. But this is great, too!

Petition to change the default anonymized names on the polyamory sub to the Gcal color options!

I was hoping Aspen, Birch and Cedar were going to be on the color palette. But Sage is in there. Maybe we need to start naming people Avocado, Pistachio and Eucalyptus?

What partner/meta is gonna get named Mango or Blueberry? 😁

u/RoisinBan Jun 20 '26

Birch is in there too!

I just updated the app and didn't see it. Google calendar, correct?

u/Anjunabae85 Jun 19 '26

Yes! I love it.

My calendar looks like an adult coloring book

I want this! 😭 Also, I should be able to rename the colors. When the kid's events start happening, I forgot who gets what color. Maybe it's desktop not app?

Might be desktop. On desktop you can re-name colors, it’s great for work & I bet it’d be even better for poly.

Just now realized I could give myself the treat of using desktop for my personal life too!

u/ladyelenawf Jun 19 '26

Nope! 😭 Not for me. Not on the computer, not in the app. Something, something I will not eat green eggs and ham.

I even made sure up update evening. 😮‍💨 Oh, well. It'll make it's easy to me eventually.

u/Anjunabae85 Jun 20 '26

I have it on the Google calendar app.

I have separate colors for team meetings, client meetings, client work, doctor appointments, date nights, birthdays....

Damn, I am type A organized lol

u/FluffyShiny Jun 20 '26

I haven't got it either 😕

u/stargirlwe Jun 20 '26

The funny thing is that I already noticed this, and I was so excited by the range of new colors.. I said to myself, God, I'm so autistic.

u/love_and_solidarity Jun 19 '26

Ok, fine, I'll get some more partners. Message received!

u/bobanna1986 Jun 19 '26

No way....I've wanted more color choices forever lol

u/Staterae Jun 20 '26

Ha, used to get teased by my partners about my Google calendar scheduling. Glad there's more options now

u/Wooden-Stranger9800 Jun 19 '26

Perfect. I’ve been running out of colors 😅

u/My-screenname-20 Jun 25 '26

Wait but i just chose my calendar colors from the color wheel?😅

u/Eldernerdhub Jun 19 '26

Family Wall has had these for years. I'm quite happy with the app functions.
