I think what you want is the “color zone” command: color zone #10 near sel distance 3 ... will cause each triangle on the surface to be coloured according to the colour of the nearest atom in the selection within a 3Å cutoff distance.

Dear ChimeraX community,
I need to colour the surface by selected side chains to highlight an intermolecular contact.
The command sequence: #select atoms on the buried surface. The selection works correctly: measure buriedarea #10/C:449-end withAtoms2 #9/A:449-end select true
#make a surface. A new surface #10.1 is generated: surface #10/C resolution 7
#color surface yellow at selected residues. color #10 & sel yellow target s
The last command does not result in surface colouring although reports "colored 1 surfaces" upon its execution.
Where is a mistake in the colouring approach? I run chimeraX version 1.0 (2020-06-04) on Ubuntu 18.04.
Thank you and best regards. Oleksiy
