- Manually selected colors

### **Manually selected colors**

Below, you can see how manual colors translate to the Calendar module:

**You can change the task color directly in the Calendar module. **Right-click on a task to see a pop-up menu. The selected task will be highlighted in blue.

Once you select a color, click outside the pop-up menu to close it. The task is no longer highlighted and a new color is visible.

You can change the manually selected task colors, even when the Heatmap mode is inactive. The pop-up menu is still accessible, and changes can be made. **The manual task color changes will affect other modules (Gantt).**
