The Tools > How Related > Display Graphically utility is a very useful vehicle to convey DNA matches with Collaborators.
The two lineages of interest obviously intersect at a forebear couple, and the two direct lineages are highlighted in the diagram by a single colour in the form of bold connecting lines and bold coloured surrounds on the associated text boxes.
Each time I generate such a diagram, the actual trace colour is likely different (not sure whether the trace colour is preset to the number of generations depicted in a particular diagram).
I cannot seem to find an option which controls the trace colour. Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ron

When you have the diagram displayed, select "Family Connection Mapper" from the Diagram menu, then select the Format option to change the colour. This tool can also add more connections to a single diagram.
