That setup is hard to achieve for Ancestors because it isn't easy to detect Spouse boxes.
However, try the following settings and see if they are OK for you.
In Diagrams Options select the Boxes tab.
In the Condition list Sex is probably Highest priority and Box Type is 2nd.
Swap these around using the Up and Down arrows on the right.
So Box Type is Highest priority and Sex is 2nd.
In the Condition list select Box Type and edit the features below:
Root tab is probably OK with Box Fill = white.
Ancestor tab click Edit Features and untick Box Fill OK.
Descendant tab click Edit Features and untick Box Fill OK.
Spouse tab click Edit Features and in Box Fill select the yellow colour you prefer OK.
Remarriage tab click Edit Features and in Box Fill select the yellow colour you prefer OK.
In the Condition list select Sex and edit the features below:
Male tab click Edit Features and tick Box Fill and select the blue colour you prefer OK.
Female tab click Edit Features and tick Box Fill and select the pink colour you prefer OK.
Click the Apply button bottom right, and adjust the settings until the colours are what you want.
