    Its fairly simply to do:

    Move applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php
    to themes/[YOURTHEME]/views/discussions/helper_functions.php

    Find:

     if (C('Vanilla.Categories.Use') && $Discussion->CategoryUrlCode != '')
      echo Wrap(Anchor($Discussion->Category, '/categories/'.rawurlencode($Discussion->CategoryUrlCode), 'Category'));

    Change To:

    if (C('Vanilla.Categories.Use') && $Discussion->CategoryUrlCode != '')
     echo Wrap(Anchor($Discussion->Category, '/categories/'.rawurlencode($Discussion->CategoryUrlCode), 'Category_'.$Discussion->CategoryID));

    This will add a unique tag to each category class in the form of Category_{CATEGORYID}. You can wrap the classes in whatever colors you want using CSS then.

    Hello, is a good plugin but you should use compatible php5 code , not is recommended to use <? short tags in this times, not its supported for most servers.
