This solution article will applies to SharePoint online, SharePoint Server 2016, 2013 & 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2013.
So let’s start with small description about set what is Calendar and calendar overlay:
SharePoint calendar: can use a calendar to store team events, including meetings, social events, and all-day events. We can also track team milestones, such as deadlines or product release dates that are not specific to a time interval.
SharePoint calendar overlay: This feature allows users to view the data of several different lists in one color-coded Calendar List. SharePoint calendar overlay colors help us display differences between various kinds of events in your organize.

On the left hand side of the screen under Calendars in View you will see the calendar overlay you just created, Timings.
