The color bars from @mcwumbly work well, but not if there are lots of subcategories, since color for subcategory alone (or parent category alone) is of little semantic meaning, increasingly so as the number of subcategories increase. If there were two side-by-side color bars for the parent-child combo, then the issue would be resolved & semantic meaning preserved. 🙂
