Hi Joel, the color is stored as a numeric atom property, you can use iterate to get it.
PyMOL> iterate (first objX), print color If you need the name of the color, get the index to name mapping as a dictionary from PyMOL like this: PyMOL> stored.cn = dict((i,c) for (c,i) in cmd.get_color_indices()) PyMOL> iterate (first objX), print stored.cn[color] Last but not least, there is the psico.querying.get_color function in the PSICO module :) Cheers, Thomas Joel Tyndall wrote, On 01/23/13 02:04: > Hi list, > > With the myriad of colours in Pymol, I tend to forget which shade of > what I have used.
