To color all carbons green the command would simply be<BR>
<BR>
color green,a C<BR>
<BR>
whereas "byatom" means to use the built-in element coloring scheme, not a specific color<BR>
<BR>
<<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/colortables.html#byelement">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/colortables.html#byelement</a>><BR>
<<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/color.html</a>><BR>
<BR>
and @ means atom name, not element, so "@C" would only get the atoms named C (not CA,CB, etc.).<BR>
<BR>
General user questions should probably go to <a href="chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu">chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu</a> (chimera-dev is for development/programming questions). I hope this helps,<BR>
