Hierarchy for Category Colors
We'd like to use the color coding options, but for events with multiple categories, the color that displays seems to be whichever is first alphabetically. It would be nice to choose which categories take priority or to have a default color and only display a different color for specific categories. It would be most useful for us to have ages as a separate identifier that could be color-coded and have priority.

I think another good way to address this might be a color picker. There could be a site setting to determine how a default color is assigned (category, audience, format), and a color picker on the event management page that allows you to override the default color with any color you select.
Our library uses colors to denote the librarian in charge of the event to help our staff with directing inquiries, since all the other info is readily available on the event page. Those are generally aligned with our categories, though there are instances where it's not aligned. A color picker would be a great way for us to manage this rather than a default setting, since we assume most libraries aren't doing it this way.

We were using the color options to denote the audience of a program but with the August 2026 update, the color coding appears to be connected to Category only. Can that be changed to Audience or give the libraries the ability to select which is the priority color? Thanks!
