Add color to calendar items automatically?

I am using this Outlook add-in (http://www.tasktocal.com/quickstart.aspx) which adds tasks to the Outlook calendar, a feature I have wanted for a long time (I know I can create a dedicated calendar view for tasks but that is of no interest to me). However when the add-in adds them to the calendar, they are the same color as those items I have entered natively on the calendar. Is there any way I can make it so that when I add a calendar appointment it is automatically assigned to category (color)? Of course it would need to not apply to the calendar items that are created by the add-on, so I may be in a catch 22 even if it is possible, if it also ends up applying the color to calendar items created by the add-on.

Thanks
 
Is there any identifying information in the tasks that you could use in a conditional format rule in a custom view?
