I would also love to be able to change the color of the events!
The blue color look really bad next to the rest of the design: http://yogamoves.ncase.dk/ (look under the tab: KALENDEREN)
For the moment this is not a function provided by the plugin. To change your calendars event color, you must do so within Google Calendar yourself. I suggest doing a search for it if you do not know how.
I came across this post when I was searching for a way to customize google call on one of the websites. Finally came out with my own solution. So if that’s what you are looking for ncase – try it out.
All you need to do is go to plugins/stout-google-calendar/gcalendar-wrapper.php
In line 256 change
$headEndTag = '</head>';
$calCustomized = preg_replace("/".preg_quote($headEndTag,'/')."/i", $calCustomStyle.$headEndTag, $calCustomized);
to
$headEndTag = '</head>';
$addCustomStylesheet = '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/blah/cal_style.css" />';
$calCustomized = preg_replace("/".preg_quote($headEndTag,'/')."/i", $calCustomStyle.$addCustomStylesheet.$headEndTag, $calCustomized);
where http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/blah/cal_style.css is path to css file responsible for css for cal
Thanks bakaat!
I’ll try that out!
I tried this but it didn’t seem to have any effect?

I’ve just checked on my old client’s website. They’re not using it anymore however I enabled it for few minutes and checked. It works there (most recent wordpress and stout gc)
check in firebug if your custom stylesheet is being loaded.
If it’s not check the frame if the additional link tag is there, check that php code mod is right.
If it is, css directives may need to be !important or more precise, actually, you can check if they’re taking effect in firebug as well
hope it helps
Hello –
when I edit the colors of events on my client’s website, the changes appear fine in Google, but always appear blue when viewed on the website.
I’m not an expert here, so I’m unsure if using Bakaat’s advice will work.
Can someone help me out?

Look at May, two events, and they are both blue, on Google Calendar neither are blue.
Thank you!
I’ve only done this once so even tough the principal is always the same (you load additional css file to override styles of what is displayed inside), i wouldn’t like to act as an expert. As for your question
Although i’ve done it quite some time ago, my advice should work without problem (will actually test it today evening to make 100% sure)
