Hello Pymoliacs,

I have been playing around with the lighting and gamma settings, but can never get a true black. The black always shows up as grey. Does anyone know
how to get black to be black?

Hi Pete -

If what you want is a "flat black", i.e. just a silhouette of the ribbon/surface/whatever, then set the color to black and turn the specular reflections off ("set specular, 0"). This certainly looks like rgb 0,0,0 to me (MacPymol v.0.94, OS X 10.2.8) and is completely invisible in front of a black background. If you're looking for a black with some texture visible, then you will get some gr(e/a)y in with your black...

Hope this helps,

Matt
