Hi Ali, paste this into the PyMOL command line:
unset ribbon_color, (*) set ribbon_color, default for name in cmd.get_object_list(): \ cmd.spectrum(selection=name + " and polymer") This will do rainbow coloring on each object separately. The "ribbon_color" setting will override atom colors, that's the reason why selecting color/rainbow from the menu has no effect in your session. Hope that helps.
