FYI. In iOS5 it let’s you edit the calendar color from within the calendar. Go to the screen where you select which calendars you want to merge and hit the edit button. In the Apple, Exchance and iCloud calendars you can change their color (6-7 choices) in edit mode. For Google cals you can still edit them from Google’s site (read above).

Brilliant, worked. Now the next problem is how to get other colours on there. What is wrong with simple grey or so?

For those looking to change their Exchange account’s calendar color on the iPhone, I have an even easier method.

1. Open Mail,Contacts,Calendars…
2. Open your Exchange account.
3. Turn off Calendar sync.
4. Hit the big red button asking if you want to delete the calendar from your phone.
5. Enable the Calendar sync.
6. Go to your calendar, wait for it to sync the items back to the phone.

At this point, you should see the next color in the magical color sequence. Rinse and repeat to get the desired color.

Thanks Waldek. I was a little worried about deleting my calendar, but (after a few tries) it finally seems to have done the trick.
