Related calendar custom fields from an event

Question

Is is possible to get custom field data of a calendar from a related event? Basically I want to be able to assign colors to calendars as a custom field, and then within the {events} variable pair set the background color of an event based on which calendar it belongs to. So something like:

{exp:calendar:cal date_range_start="year-month-01" ... }

  {display_each_day}

    {date format="%J"}        

    {events}

      <article style="background-color: #{calendar_color};">
        <h1>{event_title}</h1>
      </article>

    {/events}

  {/display_each_day}

{/exp:calendar:cal}

The above code will only output a blank string for the {calendar_color} custom field (I assume this is because the {exp:calendar:cal} tag by default will output multiple calendars).

So basically I'm just looking for a way to create a reverse relationship from the event to the calendar based on the relationship that is already setup between calendars and events with Solspace Calendar.

Yes you can call relationships inside calendar events. You need to follow the correct syntax just as if this were a regular calendar:entries tag. ref http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/relationships.html
