[Chimera-users] Carbon color of 1 chain

[Conrad Huang]

If you pick your own colors, you can use something like:

color green C & :.D

to color all carbons in chain D.  "C" is an alias for all atoms (which 
you can actually see in the Select -> element menu :-).  "&" is the 
intersect operator.  ":.D" means all atoms in chain D.
