Hi Robert, you got the levels right.
The cmd.get method actually doesn't support querying atom level settings, even though you can set them with cmd.set. Atom settings are not state specific, unless you have a discrete object. Scenes do not store settings, so using spectrum_states overrides scene colors. Hope that helps.
