User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Build ID: 20170413192749

Steps to reproduce:

My Calendar feed has  COLOR Property  for example

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:656
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY:SMILE
DESCRIPTION:Today Smile
DTSTAMP:20170105T090000Z
DTEND:20170105T100000
DTSTART:20170105T090000
SEQUENCE:0
COLOR:turquoise
UID:Dsdfghj23456lkj7-29
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR




Actual results:

It is displayed correctly except it ignores COLOR:turquoise

as per RFC-7986 COLOR is a supported property: https://icalendar.org/New-Properties-for-iCalendar-RFC-7986/5-9-color-property.html


Expected results:

It should change the EVENT to match the specified color.

hope this is still the correct place even if CalDAV / calendar functionallity is now integrated as core function. But implementing the color property for events would be really great and helpfull.
This is the major issue preventing from migrating complete to thunderbird for productive use.

The underlying library to parse iCalendar data has changed with Thunderbird 102, and now defaults to ical.js. There is an incomplete implementation for RFC 7986, only supporting property "COLOR" for VEVENT not the iCalendar object or other calendar components (https://github.com/mozilla-comm/ical.js/pull/475).

👍 We need this for collaboration of different people with different operating systems and different email clients.

Possible dupes?

• Bug 951585 - use calendar-color from caldav calendar
• Bug 1893099 - In Google Calendar on browser I can set different colors for different Events., but in Thunderbird all the events get single color (of Calendar).
