Hi Atsutoshi,If you want the "element" coloring (oxygen red, nitrogen blue, ... ) one way is to use the menu item:
Actions... Color... by element
Actually there are many different ways to color atoms, ribbons, surfaces, and other things. The many ways are listed in this manual page:
In Chimera, you can search for help using the menu item:
Help... Search Documentation
for example, if you search by "coloring" the page I mentioned above is hit #2. There are also tutorials for new users of Chimera (Help... Tutorials).
I hope this helps,
Elaine

Hi,
I visualized one ligand molecule (a kind of sugar) written by PDB format within chimera.
But all atoms have non color(attached file ) I want to color these atoms (i.e. the oxygen has red …)
Could you please teach me how to color atoms?
