If you have known matches, you can 'paint' your DNA by assigning segments to specific ancestors or groups. For example:
If I share DNA with my mother's paternal cousin, then I know that I inherited all of these segments from my maternal grandfather.
Or if I've identified a number of matches who are related to each other, it's likely we have the same common ancestors (even if I don't know who yet)
In both these cases, grouping the match segments and colour-coding them helps me to build up a picture of my DNA, and means when I overlay new matches, I can immediately see how they fit in to what I already know.
