While this is not possible automatically, you can do so "manually" using the userChrome.css.

See for example the following rule noted in bug 202360:

.calendar-task-tree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(category-birthday),
#unifinder-search-results-tree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(category-birthday) {
    /* Color all items that are in the birthday category */
    color: #00AA00 !important;
}


I can consider adding this possibility to the extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/sunbird/addon/8774 (experimental)

Marking as WONTFIX since I don't believe this should be core functionality. Christian, if you disagree please reopen.
