I have an iMac with OS X version 10.9.4. When using the iCal application I cannot change the color of a new event I post to match the color I've chosen for the event. Example: If I post a Red color coded event the lettering for my description is black. I want the description I type for my Red event to be Red, not Black. It would stand out as what color code the event is. Currently if I post a new Calendar event and choose a color for it just a small dot appears next to black font description of my event. I want colored font to match the colored dot on my calendar. Additionally there is a Gray Birthday event option but I cannot place any personalized Gray color coded birthday events. I want the typing font color to match the event color for new iCal events I add and I want to be able to post Birthdays using the Gray color set up on my iCal menu.

I was having a similar issue for a while using the native Birthday calendar. It's not exactly the same as only the notifications came in one day early.
To fix this, in macOS El Capitan with Calendar v8.0 (2092.3), I found the following:
- Open the Calendar app on macOS
- Select Preferences > Alerts
- Here change the notification for Birthdays to your choice (in my case "On day of event")
I looked for this option a while ago but was unable to find it earlier. But now with this, I'm neatly notified on the day of a birthday. Perhaps it helps others as well.
To Remove the Calendar completely.
Go to the Mail, Contacts & Calendars Preference in System Preferences select the google mail account and uncheck the Calendars & Reminders
To Set the default Calendar for new events.
In Calendar the default calendar for new events is controlled in the Preferences.
You can set it to Selected Calender to make new events appear for the calendar you have selected
or choose a particular calendar

The calendar app doesn't give you that level of flexibility. Apple has designed it to look a certain way, and that's the way it's going to look, bar some pretty serious hacking. Busycal is a calendar app that does use the calendar's color for the text, not just for the dot.
The "Birthdays" calendar is a special one automatically generated based on the birthday info you enter for your contacts. You can't edit it directly.
