Bug Description
Currently Indicator datetime displays all the dates with the same color, thus causing confusion (like bug #1075317) with duplicate dates (see the attached screenshot, has dates 26-31 and 1-6 duplicated, at first sight it might be confusing to tell whether 26th of September is Sunday or Wednesday).
Google Calendar (in the month view) for example solves this by displaying dates of the current month with black, and dates from the next/previous month with grey, and adding the abbreviated month name to each month's 1st day.

Added design for feedback, as the specification [1] does not detail this case, and design feedback is required on how to improve the situation. /wiki.ubuntu. com/TimeAndDate #Monthly_ calendar
