Are there any good colours for a person who is red-green colour blind to use on the calendar? I've been struggling to find good colours to use to see each of my classes, but none of them seem to work very well, as there are very few distinct colours.
Hi there, @VJ_ ...
I assume that you are asking about this color picker that is available in the Canvas Calendar, yes?
If so, you are not limited to the 15 colors displayed here. You can actually use any color you want by typing in the hex color code in the box and then clicking the "Apply" button. If you go to a site such as https://html-color.codes/ or List of colors (these are just a couple sites, but there are many more). You can find a color that will work for you and apply it to your Canvas Calendar courses. Do you think this would work for your needs?
Adding on to this: @VJ_ you can find color combinations that work for you using the lovely tool ColorBrewer.
The colors you choose from ColorBrewer will not all necessarily have high contrast with the calendar's background or text, so you may need to iterate until you find something that works.
Let us know if you find something really cool, or if there are additional issues!
It's hard to believe that there isn't a colour picker in that tool. This circle is crying out to be a button!

Searching through 'All Pages' can be cumbersome, especially as the year goes on. Is there going to be a folders feature added so that pages can be sorted and categorized, similar to how documents and images can fall under different umbrellas?
For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
