Hi Jared and Vaheh - We've implemented two modes and pushed the change to the github repository.
set internal_gui_name_color_mode, set internal_gui_name_color_mode, 2 Mode 1 is color by first carbon color. We think this is the most relevant use case and what the user typically would expect. This only affects molecular objects of course, other object types will appear in the default color (white). Mode 2 is object color. It applies to all object types. I learned that the "C > by element > ..." menu options also update the object color with the same color that is applied to carbons. A neat way to transfer atom color to object color is with this command: iterate (name CA), cmd.set_object_color(model, color) Other selections are possible of course.
