Can I color by a field outside the Event, like the Event's Project's Status?
Yes.
Edit the script "Write One FileMaker Event in iCal Format" and find the line where we set the variabel $scical_Status
That is the color line. In that calc, replace GetField ( $$sc_FieldForStatus ) with a look at your event's related project and grab that color if there is one. That calc could begin...

Note that you'll have to make sure your colors match the possible values of a project's status on the Settings tab's "assign colors" screen.
Setting up color coding begins on the Source No X layout (Source No 1, Source No 2, etc.) you made when integrating the calendar. That layout has a tab called "colors" on which you can specify the field you'd like to use for color coding.

Yes. Toward the end of the script "Load Calendar Settings - On Startup..." you'll see a setting for this: set that to "1". Then change the name of the "statuses" in the screen above to be the names of your sources. Use the same names you're using on the first tab on your Source No X layout.

Then, on each of your "Source No X" layouts, edit the assign color section so that it just contains the name of your source in the color you'd want to see. This source name must match the source name used on the fist tab of you "Source No X" layout.

The calendar colors events based on the contents of a field of your choosing. We call this field the event "status" in the documentation, but you can use any field you'd like.
Setting up color coding is done on the Source No X layout (Source No 1, Source No 2, etc.) you made when integrating the calendar. That layout has a tab called "colors" on which you can specify the field you'd like to use for color coding.
Below that field you'll see a section for assigning colors. Edit the list of "statuses" there in layout mode so that it matches the possible contents of the field you're using for colors. Items left blank, and items left blank, are rendered without color.
We also have a color field in the events table so we can show a color beside the event on the Event List and Event Details layouts. This calc (SampleEvents::z_sc_ColorCalc) begins with a Let() statement were you can specify which field is being used for your colors.

Then, on the Settings tab of the calendar you'll see a button called "assign colors". Click that and you can drag a color into each one of your "status" values.
A few notes about how this works...
- No event color should be the same a the default color for the text object itself (the color that shows in the formatting bar). "Edit the colors below" can / should be the default color.
- No event color should be the same a the default color for the text object itself (the color that shows in the formatting bar). "Edit the colors below" can / should be the default color.Items of the same color need to be separated by an item of a different color (even if that isn't a "real" status).
- there must be at least 2 items there, hence we begin our list with "Edit the colors below".no event color should be the same a the default color for the text object itself (the color that shows in the formatting bar). "Edit the colors below" can / should be the default color.
