Paul,
Did you click on the check box to turn on the option? Who was the person
selected in family view when you did that? If ancestor colours were not
on and you turn them on using the options screen the starting person for
the colours is the person selected at the time.
You can change the start point for the colour system using Tools > Set
Ancestor Colours.

I followed the directions in the help menu, but it isn't applying the set
colors. I checked in the Options on the view tab and the colors are set
correctly. I must be overlooking something but can't find what it is that I
am overlooking.
Thanks
Paul

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Indicating ancestors by colour
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.
