The MythTV addon / XBMC only supports DVB-SI EIT categories. If you get your EPG data from other sources (for example xmltv), the addon / XBMC won't be able to map the categories correctly. MythTV supports colors also for other categories, but again depending on the source, you don't get perfect results.
Personally, I use a small wrapper script as mythfilldatabase which changes the categories in the MythTV database to the default DVB-SI EIT categories.
1. MythTV backend is configured to use this script as mythfilldatabase replacement:
/usr/local/bin/my-mythfilldatabase
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --loglevel debug -- "--days 18"
RES=$?
if [ $RES -eq 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/mysql -h htpc -umythtv -pmythtv -Dmythconverg < /usr/local/bin/epg.sql
fi
exit $RES2. The SQL file epg.sql does the category conversion:
/usr/local/bin/epg.sql
Code:

-- gardeningThis is not an ideal solution, but it works fine. We didn't add this to the addon, because in my opinion it doesn't really belong into it.
The category conversion is something that most of the PVR addons would need, so it's best implemented either in XBMC
directly or in a conversion library that can be used by the addons.
Technically, the addon either has to return the iGenreType/iGenreSubType or a string representation strGenreDescription to XBMC (DVB SI EIT categories).
The color is then set in the Skin. Confluence for example loads the colored background image for a cell from media/epg-genres/<Type>.png
Hope that helps,
Christian
