OK, this is a bit tricky. It IS the way it is designed to work, but that is not well described. Generally, you can do this:
select atomno=100 font label 12 sans bold color label blue label Ala324 And the label will go in as size 12, blue. But, if you have defined a default font and color and you do the same thing, the "label" command picks up the defaults instead. So in that case, if you are using defaults, you have to change the font and color AFTER the "label" command: select atomno=100 label Ala324 font label 12 sans bold color label blue I don't know if this is reasonable or not. But that is the way Jmol is configured. (And always has been, I think.)
