Hello all,

I am looking for a way to change the qualitative colour cycle in ChimeraX from the default (grey, yellow, blue, purple, pink, …).
I have flicked through the online documentation, but have not yet found a solution.
Many people must have desired to do this at some point, right?
Any advice is welcome!

Best,
James

Done.

I added the initialColors option to the volume command and the volume defaultvalues command. Both commands do the same thing. Here is an example

volume defaultvalues initialColors salmon,lime,#ffff save true

The "save" option is needed in order to save the colors for future ChimeraX sessions.
