Why Should You Customize Your Calendar?
To keep your brand identity strong and cohesive, it's essential that all your assets follow the same color scheme.
Customizing elements like booking calendars not only helps you stand out but also ensures a polished and professional look for both customers and potential clients.
For example, in the image below, the company's logo is clearly red, yet the calendar elements are blue. To reinforce brand consistency, the calendar's colors should align with the logo and be red as well.

HEXA - These codes begin with a # and are used by many businesses to maintain an exact brand color across many different business assets.
