Hi Daniel, The random color per residue is on the cartoon (ribbon), since cartoons can't be colored per atom. For example, commands: open 2gbp color random The atoms are colored randomly per atom. As far as I know, there isn't a way (other than probably some python script that is beyond my skill set) to make all the atoms of the residue match the random color assigned to the residue cartoon. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi all, In the color command documentation, it says 'color random' can per atom or per residue. How can random residue colors be specified? I can only get random atom colors.
Thanks!
