Change color to an All Day Event in google calendar with Apps script

I've got a problem to change the color in an All Day Event in google calendar with google apps script. I tested a lot of way to go, but nothing works.

var event = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calendrierId).createAllDayEvent(title,date).addPopupReminder(1440);

Does anyone has a solution

Thanks

You need to use the Advanced Calendar Service (That must be enabled before use. In the Script Editor select Resources > Advanced Google services... and then enable it in the Google Developers Console.)

Once enabled you can create an event using the Events: insert and use colorId to set the color of the event, here's an example:

function myFunction() {
  var calendarId = '{YOUR_CALENDAR_ID}';
  var date = "2016-12-25";
  var event = {
    summary: 'Christmas Day',
    location: 'Home',
    start: {
      date: date
    },
    end: {
      date: date
    },
    // Bold Red background.
    colorId: 11
  };
  Calendar.Events.insert(event, calendarId);
}

As of today, there are 11 colors available for events, you can use Calendar.Colors.get() for the full list, but here's a table with the names used in the UI that you're probably more familiar with:

|    name    | colorId | background |
|------------|---------|------------|
| Blue       |    1    |   #a4bdfc  |
| Turquoise  |    2    |   #7ae7bf  |
| Purple     |    3    |   #dbadff  |
| Red        |    4    |   #ff887c  |
| Yellow     |    5    |   #fbd75b  |
| Orange     |    6    |   #ffb878  |
| Turquoise  |    7    |   #46d6db  |
| Gray       |    8    |   #e1e1e1  |
| Bold Blue  |    9    |   #5484ed  |
| Bold Green |    10   |   #51b749  |
| Bold Red   |    11   |   #dc2127  |
