If I understand the tickets correct the main problem with keeping a 
per-tag-color implementation is how to handle the coloring when an event 
is tagged multiple times.

How about a simple approach? The first tag in the list will be used for 
coloring and the color of all following tags will be ignored. Since only 
one tag per event needs to be checked for the color there shouldn't be a 
too big performance hit. So the old functionality of Kronolith from 
Horde 3 would be restored without the danger of a too   colored calender.

I really miss the possibility to select a color by tag or category for 
an event since this gives a fast and clear summary at first glance.
