For what it's worth, I think this is a good idea.  Not even all _visual_ 
output devices are color capable or have enough contrast to 
differentiate levels of gray.

When the calendar is printed out, for example, it would be nice to know 
directly what calendar an event belongs to.  So, an icon wouldn't work 
as well since you would need a legend to lookup the symbol.
