you need to change to the Phone List view of the Contacts folder, then use
Autoformatting to selectively change the colour of some COntacts. - I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

You cannot change the colour of a single Contact. All you can do is change
the colour of some that meet a certain criteria. So you could make everyone from the Company Microsoft, show in Blue. Here's how: Turn on the Advanced Toolbar (leave it on too). View | Toolbars. Change from the Address Card view to Phone List View. That's shown in a window on the Advanced Toolbar. Tools | Organize | find the Autoformatting button and experiment with the formatting process. I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
