Font and color categories are a way to group different editors into groups that share the same colors. Examples of this in Visual Studio are "Text Editor", "Output Window", etc. These show up in the Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors dialog in the "Show settings for" drop down. This is an immutable class.
