Export/Import Categories (the assignments, not the colours) from/to Exchange mailbox

Is there a way to export (and import) the colour categories from an Exchange account?   Not the colours themselves, but the actual assignment of them on mailbox items such as emails and calendar entries.

I've recently complete an Exchange 2010 to Office 365 migration and performed all of my usual post-migration tasks such as editing the autocomplete lists, calendar and mailbox sharing, additional aliases, distribution groups etc.  But I have this one user who had about 15 colour categories being used across various entries in his calendar and he wants them brought across.

I doubt categories are an object in Active directory for Exchange, they are local to the Outlook client to the best of my knowledge; hence not "migratable" from a centralized server standpoint.

That did it!  Thanks.
And welcome to EE!

@timgreen7077 - This wasn't a hybrid environment migration.  It was a cutover - and all of the data had already been migrated so I just needed post-migration tidy up.  Cheers for the input though
