Hi Ron Mmmm...
not really but thanks for the info:) I have my Bfactor column assigned in percent conservation so the B value ranges from say 30% to 100%. I want to colour my molecule accordingly. Pymol allows B factor colouring but seems only to allow 3 colour choices. It used to allow 4 colour choices say "WYOR" I was wondering if any one had an idea how I could trick Pymol into accepting say 4 colours. Sorry if I was not clearer in the previous. Thanks again advance.

Or by using rgb colours, e.g: set_color newcolor0 = [1,1,1]; color newcolor0, (mypdbfile//A/2/*) which will colour individual residues (residue 2 in this case) Pymol should accept a script containing such lines.
