And just a note - if you import someone - you will need to tell it to reapply the colours.... and in fact, if you do the drag-and-drop from one Legacy database to another (in split view) - and the person you dragged had a different colour in the original database - it keeps that colour in the newer database. (I have the database my mom sent me - with her set as the prime person colours are assigned from - and I'm moving them to my database, where my son is set as the prime person colours are set from. - If I drag my mom's fraternal grandfather, and do the merging required so that he is linked up - he will show in blue.... even though he would now be in yellow.) - It is a minor thing to remember to reset the colours.... a minor annoyance - but that is definately a possible cause for the colours being wrong on someone....
