Hi Tom, I don’t know what you mean by standard colors. There is “color byelement” for using element color-coding of atoms, “color byhet” for leaving carbons unchanged and element color-coding the other atoms. The element colors are shown here: http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/colortables.html#element
There is no set of standard colors indicating the amino acid types, if that’s what you meant, at least not in ChimeraX. That may be the reason you couldn’t figure it out. :-)
I hope this clarifies, Elaine ---------- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
