Your steps work correctly for me coloring just the chain you specified. Maybe you are using a very old ChimeraX. If you are using current ChimeraX you could use Help / Report a Bug... and maybe attach your structure since for my test case PDB 6WA1 it works correctly.

Hi,

on a pdb ensemble, when I use:
rainbow #1 structures palette blue:cyan

it colors the whole chain 1.1 blue and varies the color to cyan all the way to chain 1.20 (which is what I want).

However, if I want to color a specific chain differently using:
rainbow #1.1-10/O palette red:yellow

it colors the rainbow from N-ter to C-ter for all the chains.

How can I apply the first type of coloring (structures) to a specific chain?

Thank you.
Vincent
