Eric, just to follow up on this:

$ load "C:/jmol-dev/workspace/Jmol/bobtest/2bxa"
TRANSPORT PROTEIN                       26-JUL-05   2BXA
HUMAN SERUM ALBUMIN COMPLEXED WITH 3-CARBOXY-4-METHYL-5-
PROPYL-2-FURANPROPANOIC ACID (CMPF)

$ print {*}.temperature%1
68.6
$ select *
8,664 atoms selected
$ color temperature
$ select color = "white"
306 atoms selected
$ print {selected}.temperature.min
81.81
$ print {selected}.temperature.max
86.15
$ print {*}.temperature.min
16.45
$ print {*}.temperature.max
151.5
$ print (151.5 + 16.45)/2
83.975

So I think you can see there that white is right in the middle between the
two extremes.
Note that you could certainly use white for the average. You would just have
to figure out what range you wanted and then color those atoms white.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
