Hello guest, this parameter is meant for an additional (select) field with certain values. These values are explained in the help tooltip/popover.
cob_calendar_select_tooltip

Demo & free pack download

You can see this field in action in the free pack "Events Calendar". You can see a live demo and also login as admin. Go to the respective section (Calendar) and its type (Event). See the select field...
cob_calendar_select_field_for_event_importance
... and how it is setup:
cob_calendar_select_for_event_importance_values

Actually, it is just an addition to the Date&Time field. The Select field is picked-up by the special calendar template. It formats the event color through a special CSS class name. A sort of a visual categorization. This is just one example how to utilize it.

If you want different statuses/colors based on time, you might have a look at the other output/mode parameters of the Date&Time field. You can set named-/hexcolors and fontstyle values directly. You can see the result in the "Eventslist" below the map. Hence the date output for expired events: bold & red.

PS: It is better to post support topics as registered user, because you can "track" your posts and get (online) notifications.
