In a class this morning (entirely different subject) a student asked about
coloring appointments in Outlook 2003's calendar. I had never heard of it ,
so when I returned home this is what Help provided.

"Microsoft Outlook has 10 colors that you can use to color appointments and
meetings. These colors are visible in Day/Week/Month view of Calendar. You
can color individual or recurring appointments and meetings manually, or you
can use rules to automatically color items that meet certain conditions,
such as when a certain word is used in the subject or when a meeting request
is sent by a certain person. Manual coloring always take precedence over
automatic coloring, so if you have applied manual coloring to an item,
automatic coloring will not be applied to it."

Now that I know that I "can," I still don't know how!

Any suggestions?
 
from an open appointment form, choose a color in the label field. (under the
subject, on the right side)

You can also set labels in a table view with in cell editing enabled and the
label field in the view - although you'll only see the label name, not the
color.
