My starting person happens to be my son. I have gone with the 8-color route coloring all his ancestry, both on my side, and my wifes. (I've got the 1st, light, set, my wife's the 2nd, the darker version of the colors.)
The pedigree chart coloration option, however, appears to be only 4-colors. I didn't equate the on-screen "Ancestor Color" with the pedigree chart option. Is that to say on-screen, I have the option to show 2 color schemes, 8 colors total, but in a printed/pdf pedigree chart it will only show the 1st and is limited to 4 colors?
