Hi Hajeung,
To color all carbons green the command would simply be

color green,a C

whereas "byatom" means to use the built-in element coloring scheme, not a specific color

<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/colortables.html#byelement>
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html>

and @ means atom name, not element, so "@C" would only get the atoms named C (not CA,CB, etc.).

General user questions should probably go to chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu (chimera-dev is for development/programming questions).   I hope this helps,
Elaine
