Hi Markus,

  How about Chimera commands

color byelement
~color element.C

The first line colors the carbons gray, and the second says to unset their color, which makes them default to the color set for each molecule.

Hello,
 
I don’t seem to be able to figure out how to color a scene by element, but with different carbon colors for different chains.
 
I can’t figure out how to get an expression like
 
“color green, chain C C”
 
Or something like that …
 
How to go about this?
 
Thanks and Cheers
Markus
