Specify colors of owners in Ultradayview

I have users requesting that they be able to define the colors of the owners. I have two questions regarding this...

How do I specify colors for individual owners?
I like the OFFICE2007 color schemes, How can I limit the users choices to ONLY colors defined for owners which exist in the OFFICE 2007 color scheme/color table? I looked in Infragistics.Win.Office2007ColorTable but there does not seem to be a collection of specific colors which are used in this table

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Both ways do not work for me, the TimelineView still shows different colors for each owner.
Did i miss some setting that overwrites or blocks individual color assignments?

for (int i = 0; i < calendarInfo.VisibleOwners.Count; i++)
{
if (i % 2 == 0)
{
calendarInfo.VisibleOwners[i].Outlook2007ColorScheme = new Outlook2007ColorScheme(Color.Bisque);
}
else
{
calendarInfo.VisibleOwners[i].Outlook2007ColorScheme = new Outlook2007ColorScheme(Color.BlanchedAlmond);
}

I also tried assigning colors to Owner.HeaderAppearance.BackColor and BackColor2...

€: Working with version 2014.2... updating is not an option.

€2: Works, just f*cked it up somehow... Anyway, would take advice on best practice :)

The colors used for the WinSchedule Office2007 ViewStyle are based on the 15 selectable colors seen in MS Outlook (see the Tools->Options->Calendar Options applet). All the default colors used by the controls are derived formulaically by modifying the hue and/or saturation of the selected base color. An array containing these stock base colors is returned from the UltraCalendarLook.Outlook2007ColorSchemes.SupportedColors property. You can index into the collection using one of these colors.

Note that you can also assign a "custom color scheme" to an Owner by doing something like the following:

UltraCalendarLook calendarLook = this.ultraMonthViewSingle.CalendarLook;
calendarLook.ViewStyle = ViewStyle.Office2007;
Color baseColor = Color.FromArgb( 128, 128, 192 );
Outlook2007ColorScheme colorScheme = new Outlook2007ColorScheme( baseColor );
this.ultraMonthViewSingle.CalendarInfo.Owners[1].Outlook2007ColorScheme = colorScheme;

The color used as the base color should be one that does not lean too much toward any one RGB component, i.e., "pastel" type colors look best.
