[chimerax-users] Re: colour palette of multiple models

Hello, I'm not sure why the auto-coloring makes so many shades of green. The autocoloring is in the code and somebody else would have to advise on how to change that. A possible noncoding solution would be to use the "rainbow" command with specified palette. There are lots of palette choices, although I don't know if any will give what you want in this situation. Examples: rainbow structures rainbow structures palette paired-12 rainbow structures palette cornflowerblue:red:gold As shown in the third example, you can give as many colors as you want by individual color names (spaces removed) separated by colons. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#sequential https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#palette-options I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Chimera-X users !

I am performing visualisation of multi domain protein loaded in the Chimera-X as different pdbs.

In the model panel each pdb coloured differently according to the model ID and everythings is OK for the first 11 models, while starting from the 12th all of them are colored in green (please see the screen-shot).

Would it be possible to quickly change the auto-colouring of the multiple pdbs when I load all of them directly using chimerax workdir/*.pdb ?

Many thanks in advance
