Hey Gil,
One way to do this is to manually color the cartoon representation in
the settings panel. For example if you have a particular residue selected
with its side chain displayed, you can color it whatever color you want,
then change the color of 'cartoons' in the settings panel to another color.
From then on you may change the color of the residue, without affecting the
color of the back bone.

Subject: [PyMOL] Coloring residues without the N-C-C backbone
Dear all,
I would be happy to know how to color my specific residues while leaving
the
NH-C_alpha-CO backbone with another color that marks the type of secondary
structure.
For example:
If I color a specific residue in blue, I want its base (NH-Calpha-CO) to
be
in another color according to the secondary structure it is found in.
Thanks,
