I have changed the background color of each section in a very simple manner in the following method: But I was not sure whether it is the right thing to do. But it did work.

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    FamilyCalendarCellItemCollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"calendarItem" forIndexPath:indexPath];
    Event *event;
    _headerView = [collectionView dequeueReusableSupplementaryViewOfKind:
                   UICollectionElementKindSectionHeader withReuseIdentifier:@"EventHeader" forIndexPath:indexPath]; //headerView is declared as property of Collection Reusable View class
    if(indexPath.section==0) {

        cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor orangeColor];
        }
    else if(indexPath.section==1) {

        cell.backgroundColor=[UIColor yellowColor];

    }

    return cell;
}
