iphone calendar colors changing randomly

I sync my iPhone 14 Pro Max with my work Outlook calendar. I have a certain color selected for my work calendar (Orange). Periodically and randomly, the color for this calendar changes to Purple. This then syncs to my Apple Watch, causing both to be Purple. I can change my iPhone back to Orange, but that change does not sync back to my Watch, even when I use the Reset Sync Data on my iPhone's Watch app. Why is my calendar color changing, and why doesn't the Reset Sync Data work?

Hey RTSmith5,


We'd be happy to help out, however it's not clear how it would be possible for the color of your events to change randomly. Are you certain there's nobody else who has access to your account? Are you certain the purple calendar events aren't just a different calendar perhaps?


We ask since the only way to change the color of a calendar on iPhone is by completing the following:

1. Go to Calendars

2. Tap Calendars at the bottom-center

3. Tap the info button on a particular calendar

4. Tap on the calendar color to select a new color.


If unable to isolate things further, and you're certain this isn't being changes from another device perhaps, we'd suggest contacting Apple for further support: Get Support


We hope this helps out.


Take care!
