How to get an EVENT COLOR option in Outlook 2021 ?

Outlook version
Outlook 2021 64 bit
Email Account
IMAP
I just upgraded to Office 365 / version 2021 on a brand new laptop. Under my previous Outlook 2019, I had a CATEGORY tab at the top ribbon when I created or selected any Calendar event. That option is nowhere to be found. I imported my Calendar and all previous events have special colors that I use.

Why is this missing? Seems like a pretty basic (usable) feature. I looked at the method to ADD "CATEGORY" to the Ribbon and for the life of me it makes no sense. TIA
