If you sync multiple accounts with the Calendar app in Windows 8, the app will automatically set the color for events from each account differently.

1. Launch the Calendar app from the Start screen or the All apps page. If you have too many apps, using the search function to find the app is recommended.

3. Find the account for which you want to change the color in the list, and then click on the small box with colored text to expand the color options.
