General Geni Question - Blue, Green & Red Colors in Path

Trying to figure out color representations in the paths.

I think I've figured out the blue is a direct relative, the green is a married in relative, but what the heck is the red?

I think the color changes each time a new marriage changes the path

Correct, the colors change at Marriage. They are random color choices and have no meaning.

I'm thinking the Blue is definitely the blood or direct relationship, but the Red appears to be in laws through marriages, then that leaves Green as a mystery?
I see I"m related to Anne Boleyn through marriage (in laws), but most of the way to get to her, is blue until we hit Henry.

Now (without asking), they give me a direct shorter path (all blue), to Anne Boleyn, the unfortunate woman executed by beheading by her husband :(

Blue is a direct blood relationship. All other colors are random to reflect lines changes to in law relationship.

Geni is dynamic so paths do change. I have no way of identifying the changes you mention, or why, because I’m not you. :)

My suggestion is to walk the links (path) to the relatives and inspect.
