Note also that PyMOL beta versions now match Jmol's colors element-for-element except for those few atomic colors previously defined in PyMOL (just C,N,O,H,S -- I think)
Changing those colors is simply a matter of changing the associated color name: set_color helium, [ 0.4, 0.3, 0.7] recolor Carbons are the only exception, siince objects in PyMOL are given one of 40 default carbon colors in a repeating cycle so that separate molecules can be visually distinguished. To turn this off: set auto_color, off To get a Jmol-like carbon: set_color carbon, [0.564, 0.564, 0.564] load some_pdb_file.pdb Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
