Chris Carey

iOS 5 changed the database that deals with Calendar colors. The value is now a hex value just like CSS uses (something like #fe6548)

- Install sqlite3 via Cydia

- ssh to your iPhone

- Run sqlite3 and open the calendar database

iPhone:~ mobile$ sqlite3 /var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb

- Issue the SQL commands to change the calendar colors:

sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#9FC6E7' WHERE title = 'Chris Carey';
sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#FF7537' WHERE title = 'Work';
sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#D06B64' WHERE title = 'Important';
sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#B3DC6C' WHERE title = 'School';
sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#4986E7' WHERE title = 'Chris & Nasique';
sqlite> UPDATE Calendar SET color='#AC725E' WHERE title = 'Health';

-Quit sqlite3

.quit

-Quit ssh

exit

If needed, kill the calendar app or reboot the phone to get it to reload the new colors
