There is no per-event coloring currently in Horde 5. Categories were  
replaced by tags. There is already an open enhancement request about  
adding colored event "dots" to the event bubbles for the event tags'  
color.

Already possible again in Kronolith 4.2

You can absolutely define multiple calendars in Kronolith. In Horde  
5.1/Kronolith 4.1 and prior, all events are "multiplexed" into a  
single calendar to sync. Starting in 5.2/4.2 it will be possible to  
truly sync multiple sources, but not every client supports it.

See the many mailing list and tickets that already discuss this.

That's a blatant generalization. If it's THAT important for you than  
consider sponsoring the feature to be developed.

Again, see the various mailing list discussions and tickets. The  
suggestion of just adding the "first" tag is not feasible for a  
variety of reasons.
