I actually like the very simple color-name idea of yours.  

I am not sure what the current manual situation is, but in the
released 21.2, some of the very interesting Calendar stuff is in the
elisp manual.  Maybe that has to be rethought; and maybe some example
using faces (the expert solution you talk about) needs to be added to
the manual.  I just read through the node "Sexp Entries and the Fancy
Diary Display" in the old elisp manual and it says nothing about
faces.  But perhaps I just missed the beginning of the thread.  :)
