It means if you put the fields into Group option like this, the color will be categorized by the Category field. All Subcategory and Area values belong to the same one Category value will be formatted as the same color.
In your scenario, if you want to category the color based on the Year field, you can place the Year field as the first group. In my example, is changing the Area field as the first group, see:
