Sorry, after working on it for 3 straight hours my brain assumed everyone
would know what I was talking about.

It is an autoformatting rule

It is Outlook 2002

The calendar is shared as a public folder

I found a little bit of a workaround, but it still is not ideal. If I
create a "custom view" with these automatic formatting rules (if subject has
ABC then color it orange, if subject has XYZ then color it blue, etc) and
tell everyone looking at the calenadar to change their view to the new custom
view, colors show up. The rules stay in effect when they create appointments
as well.

However, no new rules can be added. If I have 9 rules set up and then 2
weeks later they want to add another rule, I cannot simply add that rule to
the view, it must be deleted then re-created with all 10 rules. If someone
adds a rule, it only applies to their view of that calendar, not everyone's.
When you create a new view there are these options:

This folder, visible to everyone
This folder, visible only to me
All Calendar folders

If I choose "This folder, visible to everyone" then the autoformatting rules
I place in before hitting the final OK to create the rule apply. After that,
there is no way to make new rules apply to "This folder, visible to everyone"
