Hi,
New PyMol user here, clubbing my way up the learning curve. Say I'm modeling a protein with 8 subunits. I want to show them as spheres and give each of them a slightly different shade of blue. Do I have to define by name each of my 8 colors with the set_color command and then apply my set individually with, for example: color blue1, chain A. That seems a bit clunky. I see that the argument for color is a "string: color name or number" What is meant by number in this context? I've tried color (x, y, z), chain A Where x, y and z are 0-255 RGB coordinates, 0-1 PyMol coordinates, with several syntax variations. I keep getting error messages. I must be missing something simple. Greg Williams Department of Chemistry University of Oregon
