Hi Lei Zhang, You can use the “color” command to color labels separately from the other things. For example, commands like these to change all residue labels or only a specific residue label: color cyan,lr color yellow,lr #0:500 … the “,lr” part means residue label. You could also use “,l” (these are the letter L, not number 1) for all kinds of labels, atom and/or residue. There is no space after the comma. You can also color ribbons, surfaces, etc. separately from the atoms. This is explained in the “color” help page: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html> You could also do these things with the menu, Actions… Color… all options… to open a coloring dialog, in which you could change the choice under “Coloring applies to” For a figure, however, you may want the fancier “2D Labels” (menu: Tools… Depiction… 2D Labels): <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/2dlabels/2dlabels.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi the experts of Chimera, Good noon! I had selected a residul and labeled it with the commands
sel #0:500 rlabel #0:500.
Then, the label can be displayed on the selected residul. How could I change the color of the label and display the label in a different color different from the color of the whole model? Thank a lot! Sincerely, Lei Zhang Peking University, Beijing, China
