I have 4.2113.1 on my Android Phone running Android Version 9 (Pie) and I see the color categories on my phone calendar, but I cannot set or change a color category.
One thing that is very annoying is that if I use the Samsung native calendar app, and make any changes to a calendar entry that has a color category, it will not sync the entry back to Office 365 and subsequently to other devices in my universe. This creates a real issue, because if I update the same entry on my Outlook for Windows Desktop App, it completely overwrites the calendar entry that I previously updated using the Samsung Native App.
There are times when I need to use the Samsung native calendar app, and this lack of sync has messed me up several times.
