Not with a single object, but remember that it is trivial to make copies of objects in PyMOL which are shown using different representations and coloring schemes. In this case, create a copy of the object, then show the ribbon on the original with one color scheme, and then show the sticks on the copy: load orig.pdb create cpy,(orig) hide show cartoon,orig show sticks,cpy You can now color the two independently. > Finally I didn't find a way to put labels in residues -- like Tyr-25 > beside a tyrosine -- and to make "ray" of it. You got me there: vectorized labels are on the TO DO list, but for now you'll need to add labels manually. The normal labels won't work because they are rasterized into the OpenGL buffer...
