Outlook 2013 categories do not show color label - only text label

I just upgraded to Outlook 2013 from 2010. I used to be able to right click in the category column of an email in the inbox to assign a color block to the email. Now it only gives me the text label of the color. For example the quick click for follow up used to be a red block in Outlook 2010. Now when I click in that column it gives me the text label "follow-up" instead of the red block that I prefer.

How can I turn the color blocks back on and get rid of the text labels?

Thanks for your help.

Did you ever get an answer to this question or post the question elsewhere?

I HATE the text labels and just want the color blocks, too.
