If you know enough of the basics of Python to write a loop, then as  
Elaine pointed out these color transitions become less onerous.   
Also, you don't need to know the Python equivalent of every Chimera  
command you need, since you can:

	from chimera import runCommand

to make the runCommand function available and then thereafter use it  
to execute a string with the command you want, e.g.:

	runCommand("open 1gcn")

to open 1gcn.
