That moron was me. Since calendar events use black text on a colored background, the color needs to be light enough to allow sufficient contrast for readability. Hence the reason why the color is lightened for event backgrounds, but is not for the text of items in lists. We did explore leaving the color the same and using white text, but that made the calendar look really heavy, or the lists look too light.

Thanks, I know how to edit the colors, that's not the problem. The problem is that some moron at Microsoft decided to mute/pastelize the colors. I was trying to find a way to change the colors in the calendar so they actually match what I have defined in "categories". Becuase pastel blue on pastel grey with dark grey text just ain�t doing to for me! -- Sincerely, Mark Goodman "Microsoft?
