Would it also make sense, not to allow the user to move backwards in
time, that is prevent them from choosing a month or year that is
before the open date. This won't help with days in the same month but
it may help if they go back a month or year by accident and are
confused because it is all the same colour.

In some date pickers I've seen that distinguish between pickable and
non-pickable dates (e.g. hotel room availability), the distinction
is made with green and red coloured backgrounds. I've always found
that to be pretty obvious, given our existing common associations
with those colours. They could probably be combined with grey vs.
black foreground colours for the month distinctions? You'd probably
have to play with shading, etc., and I do see that you already use
background colours to distinguish weekdays from weekends, but maybe
it's an idea to start with?
