google calendar color mapping. name (string) to id (integer).

google_calendar_color_map.md

intro

As of 2020-07-27 The default google calendar api response does not include the user visible names:

.

Below is a json map for all the default colors. Please note:

• colorId empty for event with default color
• different colorId for the same color in Calendar and Event (ex. Tomato: 11 and 3)
• there is no consistent logic in the enumeration of the colors

I am not 100% sure if the colorId's are completely static, as I found an old project in which they were mapped to different numbers.
