[Macpartners] change resource & delegate calendar colors?

[Teddy Thomas]

Hey Aran-

The way I accomplished this in the past was using AppleScript. Stu Peloquin had given this little gem to me a ways back (Thanks Stu!).

tell application "Calendar"
	set calnum to (count every calendar)
	repeat with currentnum from 1 to calnum
		set the color of calendar currentnum to {red, green, blue}
	end repeat
end tell

I haven’t touched this in a while, so I don’t know if it works on macOS Sierra or High Sierra, and I don’t have any Exchange resources handy to test, but I think the way this works is that it sets every calendar to the RGB values you fill in for red, green, and blue, but it should be trivial to make it do it only for a particular calendar if you can figure out how the counting works. Good luck!

It seems that this is not readily possible in 10.12.6 w/Calendar 9.0 connected to MIT Exchange.  By control+command clicking on my own Calendar, I can easily select the intended color.  This same action is not possible for resources/delegates.
