Default Is there any way to color-code a contact in Outlook?

I have my contacts arranged into Categories -- but I would love to be able to
use different colors within those categories ...is there any way to do this?
Or is there some other visual distinction I could use?

Thank you!!

You can define a automatic font formatting for a view for each category
with different colors.

Yes, really :-)

Please try this:

- "View", "Arrange by...", "Current View", "Customize current view",
"Automatic Formatting...", "Add"
- Give a name for your category or font color you want
- Choose "Font" and then choose your color and/or font style
- Click on "Condition...", "More Choices", "Categories" and choose your
category
- Close all dialogs

Best Regards
Peter
