Ian,
If your Ancestor Colours only go back 4 generations it is time you
reset them. Tools > Ancestor Colours.
Like Set Relationships and Set Direct Line, you need to refresh after
adding more generations.
Set Direct Line is not such as issue as it is setting the preferred
child and you probably are adding your direct ancestor first each time
you move back.
Where Ancestor Colours show is controlled by Options > Customise 8.3

Ancestor Colours only go back 4 generations – which is not far enough
back, and with the latest update the option to “include married names”
in the index only sticks for the current open session.
I have to remember to turn the option on every time I open Legacy and
want to use the index!
Cheers,
Ian

On the index, Ancestor Colors are only on Direct Ancestors, unless I'm
mistaken

Thank you for the index thread. It has taught me something that is
going to be very useful.
What it made me question was the ancestral colours. I have set them up
on the Family screen and they are correct on my immediate ancestors
(grandparents, great grandparents etc) but seeing the index and the
colours there has made me realise that the colours actually only show
on the immediate ancestor and not on children of those people.
For example my father has a colour and his father but not his brother.
Is this is how it is supposed to be or am I missing something - just
as I had previously missed using the index.
Thank you - June
