There's no way for your second computer to know the colors - the Palm OS
doesn't know anything about category colors.
Just go to Edit/Categories/Edit Categories on your school Powerbook's
Entourage, and change to colors to whatever you want. Click on the color
well at the right of each category listing in the window: if the correct
color is not in the popup list, select "Other" at the bottom and find it.
(If you're not happy with your own color selections, it could be done by an
AppleScript, exactly.)
I have a script for copying the colours from one category to another:

property priorSelection : ""
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theCategories to name of every category
set cat1 to (choose from list theCategories with prompt "select the
category you want to copy the colour FROM:" OK button name "Copy Colour"
default items priorSelection without multiple selections allowed and empty
selection allowed)
if cat1 is false then
beep
return -99
else
set priorSelection to item 1 of cat1
set theColour to color of category priorSelection
end if
set cat2 to (choose from list theCategories with prompt "select the
categories you want to copy the colour TO:" OK button name "Paste Colour"
with multiple selections allowed without empty selection allowed)
if cat2 is false then
beep
return -99
end if
repeat with aCategory in cat2
set color of category (contents of aCategory) to theColour
end repeat
end tell
