Can you create an actual legend key for the colors?

Problem/Motivation

It's great that you can key the different date events via a taxonomy term, but can you create a legend to describe what each of the colors mean? Without this, the legend isn't very useful to the viewer.

Proposed resolution

I am assuming this can be done via a template, but I'm not sure how to extract and display the colors in use and the source taxonomy name or description.

    Really thrilled with this module - thank you! To give back just a little bit, here's a screenshot along with a text file of the HTML and CSS I wrote to create it. (This is for a political site - make changes as desired.)

    Yeah, it was a manual thing to create it, but considering how well the module works, I'm not complaining! Thanks and enjoy...

    Hi,

    I have developed a module that it provides a block where it appears a legend with a list of terms of taxonomy with the colors for each term of taxonomy.

    You can customize/override the twig template for your convinence.

    I hope it would be useful and you can take some idea.

    I have tried both @KarinG's method and @bcobin's, and wasn't able to get either to work. The text shows up in each case, but the colors don't appear in either one. I thought that the issue with @KarinG's segment might have been the missing fc-event-dot section in CSS, but @bcobin's includes the complete CSS, and yet I get the same result in both instances.

    OK. I've found a part of the problem... not sure of the cause...

    The fingers were working faster than the brain; I'd been modifying and repasting updated code, overwriting what was there/not working, so I wasn't looking at what was there... but when I did stop to look, I find that the reason the colors aren't showing up on mine is, for some reason, Drupal is stripping out a lot of the code. I paste in @KarinG's sample,
    <p><span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#99cc33"></span> Slalom&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#c58917"></span>&nbsp;Freestyle&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#f24fe7"></span> Leader/Instructor/Coach Development&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#800080"></span> Multi-Discipline&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#555555"></span> Other&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#ff6600"></span> Festivals&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#3366ff"></span> Paddler Development&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#c11b17"></span> Club Events&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="fc-event-dot" style="background-color:#066066"></span> Canoe Polo&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

    and save it, and when I come back and look at the source that was saved, what is there is:

    <p>
        Slalom&nbsp; &nbsp;Freestyle&nbsp; &nbsp;Leader/Instructor/Coach Development&nbsp; &nbsp;Multi-Discipline&nbsp; &nbsp;Other&nbsp; &nbsp;Festivals&nbsp; &nbsp;Paddler Development&nbsp; &nbsp;Club Events&nbsp; &nbsp;Canoe Polo&nbsp;&nbsp;
    </p>

    Drupal is stripping out all of the necessary information. I have this set as FULL HTML format in the editor, so I'm not sure why it is stripping out all of the information. So I've found the CAUSE, now I just need to figure out the solution.

    As an update, it appears that CKEditor 5 doesn't like an "empty" span tag, as @KarinG has in her example.

    When I change the code to

    <style>
    .legend-dot {
    font-size:3rem;
    text-align: middle;
    }
    </style>
    <p><span class="legend-dot" style="color:#b51616">β€’</span> Slalom&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="legend-dot" style="color: #cc9900">β€’</span> Freestyle&nbsp;&nbsp;
    

    Drupal retains the <span> tags. But when I use the <span></span> tag, Drupal/CKEditor strips the span out every time.
