Review Summary
GcalColor is highly praised by users for restoring essential color-coded event labeling in the updated Google Calendar interface, making it usable again especially for users managing multiple calendars. The extension addresses widespread frustration with Google's replacement of colored events with less useful colored dots. However, several users have difficulty understanding how to add or customize colors due to lacking documentation and UI cues. Some users experienced temporary feature removals, but overall it effectively resolves critical usability issues caused by recent Google Calendar changes.
