Default unable to color coordinate events on calendar.

I'm trying to color code each weekly reoccurring meeting. I can select lets say blue for week 1 of the month but I want week 2 of the same meeting to be red...Week 3 another color etc... I was able to do this in outlook 2003 on reoccurring meetings but if I change any of the weeks it changes them all for the month. Any suggestions?.

Outlook doesn't support that, but it's something that people do ask about.
Maybe Microsoft will add that ability some day.

In Outlook 2003 you were applying labels, not color categories. Labels
worked on individual occurrences but categories are for the series only.
You'd need to make individual appointments for it to work.
