Outlook 2013 - categories superseding conditional formatting. - Microsoft Community

hello everyone,

for longest time, have set scheduling calendar shared between 6 people. trying set each of 7 techs have color code instead of hunting names, colors. supervisor had declined saying there no point. there names on scheduling calendar anyways.

i set locally, when ever sets schedule, when tech invited schedule, conditional formatting recognize first person (so if there 2 first person) invited schedule. 

recently, boss thought... color coding sounds idea... , decided color categorize 2 special projects different colors.

since categories instead of color scheming, took place master category , supersedes conditional formatting. 

he's being stubborn , not want change ways need able set rule ignore categories , continue invite conditional formatting locally only.

can me how this? please? thank in advance.
