This is what I did.  I edited options in 
/usr/share/horde3/config/prefs.php as per below.  If users have set 
their own categories these won't show but they work for all guests and 
users who have not added categories.  Perhaps there is another way?  If 
a user that has categories adds the global ones they will start to work 
for that user.  You may be able to lock it so that people can add custom 
categories so that the global ones are the only option.  Perhaps there 
is a way add the records to the database for all users so that they 
could have custom and global but that is beyond my skill level.

Color on the calendar is nice.  Perhaps it would be good to just be able 
to assign a color to an event or pick from a set of small icons?

// categories
$_prefs['categories'] = array(
    'value' => 'Public Event|Meeting|Birthday',
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);

// category colors
$_prefs['category_colors'] = array(
    'value' => 'Public Event:#f40099|Meeting:#ffea28|Birthday:#4f7f00',
    'locked' => false,
    'shared' => true,
    'type' => 'implicit'
);
