<div class=""> If you get tomorrow's (Tuesday Oct 18, 2022) ChimeraX daily build (not the 1.5 release candidate) it will make the surface colors match your cartoon colors.<br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> ChimeraX was coloring the molecular surface of chains using a fixed set of colors instead of trying to match the color you set for the atoms of your structure. That seems not so great. So I changed it today so that new molecular surfaces have
their color match the ribbon/cartoon color of the residues for that surface. (If the residues have multiple colors then the average is used).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Also I added an option to the ChimeraX color command to make the surface colors match the ribbon/cartoon colors. For example</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>color #1 fromcartoons</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">With this command if the residues have different ribbon / cartoon colors then the surface will also have multiple colors matching the residues.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Thanks for pointing out the difficulty in getting the surface colors to match the structure colors.</div>

<div class="">Dear all, <br class="">
<br class="">
I would like to generate surface using my model but I want to keep the color as I defined. My protein contains only one chain so that when I ran Surface command, it generated surface with one color... Is there a way to generate surface to keep my defined color?
<br class="">
<br class="">
Super thanks!<br class="">
