Yes ... this color coding is based on the Mary Hill Color Coding system, which uses the following colors: Grandfather's lineage on your father's side: BLUE Grandmother's lineage on your father's side: GREEN Grandfather's lineage on your mother's side: RED Grandmother's lineage on your mother's side: YELLOW
In order for Legacy to know which Grandfather, it needs to know who is the starting person. In my case it's me. Once I followed the directions I (finally) found below, it all printed beautifully in color. Now I don't have to think too hard! The directions are found in the Legacy Help Files: To set these colors in Legacy: 1. Navigate to the starting person in your family file. This is usually yourself. 2. Choose Apply Ancestor Colors from the Tools menu. 3. Click Apply Color Coding. Legacy runs through all your direct-line ancestors and marks them for the correct color code. The second step in this process is to turn on the displaying of the colors as you navigate in your family file. To do this: 1. Choose Options > Customize and click on the View tab. 2. Mark the checkbox title Display custom generation line colors on screen. Now, as you move around in your file, colored boxes appear on the Family and Pedigree View indicating the line you are viewing. Once you do the above -- To print the Pedigree Charts with these color codes, I went to "Reports", "Pedigree", "Color Text and boxes", selected "4 Line Colors" -- then your pedigree charts should print with the colors.
