I use this a lot - I simply duplicate the object and show one object as
sticks in the desired color, and the other as spheres in other colors.
The size of the spheres can be controlled with 
 
set sphere_scale, 0.3, myobject  
 
where 0.3 is the scaling relative to the default van der Waals radii.

        Subject: [PyMOL] Atom Color
        
        

        Hello, 

        Is it possible, with PyMol,  to depict the atoms within a
residue as a sphere of one color and the bonds as sticks of a different
color? I want, for example, to color only the spheres black and the
region between the spheres gray. I realize that this is not an accurate
representation of the electronic environment of an atom but I would like
to see how it looks.

        Tim
