Hi Elaine, Thank you! I will specify the color as you suggested.

Hi, I am Murugesh, a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Rajat Rohatgi’s lab at Stanford University. I created an attribute file using z-scores and mapped these scores onto a structure, applying a gradient color scheme. However, I would like to know if there's a way to use discrete colors instead. Specifically, I want to apply a single color with uniform intensity for a selected range of z-scores (e.g., from 3 to 10) rather than using a gradient. I haven’t been able to figure this out. Is there an option or command I can try? I would appreciate any guidance. Thank you, Murugesh
