A focused population profile of Coloured, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Coloured is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Coloured with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Coloured.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Coloured is Baster. Other nearby references include Brazilian Pardo, Reunionese Creole, Omani Arab (Intermediate Profile), and Dominican. This gives the Coloured profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Coloured average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Coloured profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Coloured average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Baster. Other nearby references include Brazilian Pardo, Reunionese Creole, Omani Arab (Intermediate Profile), and Dominican.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Baster is the closest listed match to the Coloured average after removing Coloured itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Coloured G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
