The following instructions are for RootsMagic 7 and earlier versions.
You want to color all of John Doe's gg grandparents, grandparents are the third generation so gg grandparents must be the fifth generation of ancestors.
Tools - Color code people -- choose a color and choose "People selected from list."
find "Doe, John"
Click Mark group, ancestors - 5 generations -- OK
Click Unmark group, - ancestors - 4 generations -- OK
OK
If you want the 4th generation a different color, just color 5 generations one color, 4 generations another color, 3 generations a third color, 2 generations a fourth color and the starting person a fifth color.
With enough colors and enough patience you can color every generation a different color.
==
You can do descendants that way too.
