Hi
The color in category for articles are specifically designed for Joomla content only.

If you want to add Joomla custom fields in Joomla contact category.
Open components > contact> Fields > Create new field for category http://prntscr.com/p5hu9c
http://prntscr.com/p5huvy
Save and check the Joomla contact category, you will see the custom field option.
You can also check > content > articles > Fields > category > color to see how its defined for Article category.

Here is blog post helps you to know more about Joomla custom fields: https://www.gavick.com/blog/joomla-4-tutorial-use-custom-fields-joomla-contact-forms

Hello,
I have already created extra fields in the contact categories and I tried to create one "colors" using as example the one of the categories of the articles but in the contact categories the change of color has no effect, what am I wrong? should I implement some other files?

Hi
Sorry its not simple to add this change, there are many implimentation need to be added.
Like, you need to create override for the Joomla contact category layout and customize the layout.
Also need to define new style class and write new code in template helper.php file.
You can open template folder > helper.php
and /html/com_content/category/blog.php file and see the color code defined for this. If you are not a developer i suggest you to take help from your developer as its something fall in personal customization and out of support scope.
I tried to check this possibility but its not simple to make it.
