 * I would like to use the category colors to show different colored text (based
   on category assigned the event). How can I accomplish this?

 * That is the default behaviour of the plugin. If you are not seeing the category
   colour, make sure you have “Enable event categories?” turned on on the calendar
   options page.

 * I see the color category but the text is not coming out in a color matching.
 * This is the CSS in the configure the stylesheet…

 * It is not showing the category key. Please check the calendar main options page
   and ensure you have enabled the tickbox beside “Enable event categories?”
