[Chimera-users] Setting Default Colors

[joshloecker at icloud.com]

Hello,
I have recently started using Chimera and I am having a problem setting a default color when starting a session (if this is possible). When I open a model, it opens in a tan color, which I like because it is easy to pick out other molecules, such as SO4, etc. However, when closing the session and opening the same model, it opens in a variety of other colors, such as bright red, pink, purple, orange, etc. that are distracting to what I am trying to do.

I have found the section in Preferences > New Molecules to not use a new color for each model, but then if I load multiple models I cannot distinguish between them. I was wondering if it was possible to set a default color to open models in, or if I have to quit Chimera each time I open a single model in order to get the easy-to-see tan color?

Thank you,
