I'm color-blind, and highly contrasting colors would probably make it
usable, but things like blue-versus-purple or bright-green-versus-yellow
or cyan-versus-white are schemes that would cause problems for me
personally.  I'd highly recommend using some other additional indicator,
like maybe just the name of the calendar in smaller text at the top?
