What do the colors represent in Jira Issues Calendar gadget?

[Nick.Kollauf]

We see Orange and Grey in our Jira Issues Calendar and are trying to decipher if there is a bug on this gadget or if we are merely interpreting it wrong.

Right now we believe that the colors denote the status of either resolved (orange) or open (grey), but there seems to be inconsistency with that analysis when digging into he underlying issues on any given day.

Thanks for the help!

I think the colors are related to the colors chosen for the system field Priority.

Tip: if you choose white for the color for a status, then the issue is white on white in the calendar gadget. Oops
