The Ancestor Colours use a system of colour coding your direct ancestors
developed by Mary E.V. Hill. There is a description of the system in
the help files. In essence though each of your grandparents are assigned
one of four colours. All the ancestors from each of those four people
are then coloured so you can tell which of the four lines you are in at
a glance.
Note though that if you are also tracking collateral branches in your
tree, like your spouses ancestors, they are not on any of your four
coloured branches so people on those lines will have no colour code. The
same applies to siblings of your direct ancestors so grand aunts, grand
uncles or their descendants will not have colours either.

Will it let you say, manually select all emigrant ancestors from France
and color them green?
Then once you've colored all the emigrant ancestors green, is there a
way to specifically select all the people you colored green, for
instance, to export to a GEDCOM for a mapping project?
Will it also let you color code all six lineages who lived in Acadia a
single color?
