It’s been a year since you’ve posted this, but I just used it to change my iPhone’s calendar colors. I enabled multiple exchange accounts, and it was assigning an exchange account and a CalDAV calendar the same color. I just want to thank you.

Worked great for me. I needed to switch myself to developer on Cydia and then download the package SQLite 3.x (SQLite 3.x Library is installed by default).
Colors seem more pastel on iOS 4.1 though.
Thanks!
[...] This one came about as I was recently forced at work to switch from using the Unix email system to the hosted Exchange solution, in order for our calendars to be centrally accessible by everyone. Details aside, after adding my exchange to my iPhone (since I am trying to keep my blackberry off BES), I realized that the color schemes absolutely suck. From somewhere, it decided that purple was the best color, and I couldn’t change it. After aimlessly searching through the Calendar.app on the iPhone for a color changing option, I came to the realization that there was no way to do it. Luckily, my iphone was jailbroken, and there are plenty of ways to do this with a little background work. I found this amazing article: http://chriscarey.com/wordpress/2009/02/10/how-to-modify-iphone-calendar-colors-with-sqlite3/ [...]
Thanks for your tutorial. I currently have several calendars, including some synchronised with Gmail. All the Gmail calendars have the grey colour.
So I have managed to install openssh, sqlite3, connect to my iphone and do the sql queries to change the colours manually.
However, it looks like everytime calendar synchronises with Gmail, the gmail calendars’ colour reverts back to the original grey! Does anyone know how I can prevent this?
With the update to ios 5 the schema has changed slightly for the Calendar.sqlitedb file. Instead of using RGB colors (color_r, color_g, color_b), Apple has changed it to use a single hex color called “color”.
So an example update query would look something like this:
update Calendar set color=’#FF0000′ where title = ‘your_calendar_name_here’;
The above hex color (#FF0000) is a shade of red. To find your favorite color in hex just search in Google for “hex colors”. There are tons of sites that have hex color charts.
Yeah I noticed that just the other day but haven’t had time to blog it yet. Thanks for that info rockstarTS!
