If I've understood correctly, you're probably using the waveshare 7.5" 2-Colour Display, which does not support red.
You did mention 'clearly visible' in your comment. Does that mean that the red parts are displayed in a different manner? Could you please post a picture of the display to show the issue?
The best and most permanent fix I can think of would be to reduce the colours of the icons from 3 (black, white & red) to 2 colours (black and white). I'll try to figure out something regarding that (maybe creating a python 'converter' or manually convert the icons to just 2 colours with GIMP 2).

I use this 7,5" Waveshare E-Ink Display (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7.5inch_e-Paper_HAT). It's not the 3 Color Version. The red icons are not clearly visible on the screen from a distance

I've figured out why the red parts are not showing up properly. If you compare how the Display interprets data, it turns out that the red part is not allocated at all in the 2-colour display:
But in the 3-colour E-Paper Display, the data from the red parts are allocated.
I'm currently writing and testing a python converter which will reduce the colours of all .bmp's I created from 3 to 2. This will solve the issue of the 'disappearing' colour issue.
When I've confirmed that it works, I'll let you know again.

Although this software wasn't originally intended to be used with the 2-colour E-Paper Display, I'm going to add full support for the 2-colour version soon.
For now, I have a 'quick fix' which will allow you to use the software on the 2-colour E-Paper Display. I have tested it and confirm it works:
Usage;
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aceisace/E-Paper-Calendar-with-iCal-sync-and-live-weather/master/2-Colour-support/setup | bash
Let me know if it works, thanks.
from inkycal.
I'll close this issue for now then.
If there's no further problem, do close this issue.

Glad to hear that it works :).
I‘m going to improve the support for the 2-colour E-Paper soon (reduce the update time (by using the 2-colour E-Paper files), remove ‚calibration‘ for the red colour (since it‘s not required on the 2-colour E-Paper) and a few more improvements).
If you‘re interested, star or watch this repo to find out what‘s happening.
Since I don‘t actually have the 2-colour E-Paper display, I don‘t know how well the current fix will work reliably. Could I ask you to upload a picture of your E-Paper Calendar after a week or so? That way, I can see if there are any problems on the 2-Colour version. Thanks in advance.
