True Color" rendering option for calendar blocks

"True Color" Rendering for Events, Tasks, Projects, etc.

Introduce a toggle or setting for "True Color" rendering so that events, tasks and projects on the calendar view keep 100% of the actual hex colors selected in the picker. Currently the color picker offers 28 distinct choices, but the UI automatically transforms them once applied, rendering them pale in Light Mode or heavily desaturated in Dark Mode. While this keeps the text readable, it dampens the color profile to the point where similar hues become indistinguishable, which hurts quick scanning and time-blocking for users who rely on precise color-coding. To maintain legibility without sacrificing color vibrance, the UI could adopt a dynamic text contrast system similar to Google Calendar:

  • Highly saturated or dark backgrounds automatically swap to crisp white text.

  • Lighter backgrounds retain dark text.

The suggestion is addressed to the Akiflow team; Akiflow's layout and speed make it an excellent tool for managing a busy schedule.
