[chimerax-users] color submodels using a palette

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Vincent,
With the "palette" option of the "color" (or "rainbow") command you can specify whatever colors you want.  Either the name of a palette, or any set of colors that you like, as described here:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#sequential>
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#palette-options>
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/colornames.html#builtin>

Example:

rainbow #1 structures palette blue:dodgerblue:lime:gold:coral

I hope this helps,
Elaine
