I create a group and go into the calendar and my only options for categories are to use "Blue Category" or "Green Category".
I am the owner of the Group. There is no Manage Categories option.

Hi!
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
The Manage categories command is generally only available for your own mailbox calendar, not for Microsoft 365 Group calendars. Also, being the group owner does not grant additional category-management capabilities. (it is designed that way, group calendar has limitations)
