[Chimera-users] Colors of van der Waals speheres

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Rosa,
The spheres are the atoms, just assign the atoms (=spheres) the desired colors with the Actions... Color menu or the "color" command.

You might want to take a look at some of the tutorials for learning Chimera, like Getting Started:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Tutorials/GettingStarted.html>
.... and more, see Chimera menu: Help... Tutorials.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
