 Also need a function for color interpolations (linear may suffice).  This may be a simple function to interpolate each component of the RGBA tuple from stateA to stateB over N frames (the range of values is between 0-1, so it's a floating point interpolation).
+
+Get a PDB molecule to play with:
+{{{
+chimera.runCommand('open 2por')
+om = chimera.openModels.list(all=True)
+por2 = om[1]
+}}}
+
+Exploring color properties:
+{{{
+>>> por2.color
+<_chimera.MaterialColor object at 0x3d50dc8>
+>>> por2.color.name()
+u'_openColor00'
+>>> por2.color.rgba()
+(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
+>>> por2.color.ambientDiffuse
+(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
+>>> por2.color.isTranslucent()
+False
+>>> por2.color.opacity
+1.0
+}}}
+
+Chimera material attributes are collected with color attributes.
+{{{
+# chimera.Material object
+>>> por2.color.material
+<_chimera.Material object at 0x2fd7c60>
+>>> por2.color.material.name()  # material name (unicode str)
+u'default'
+>>> por2.color.material.shininess
+30.0
+>>> por2.color.material.specular
+(0.85, 0.85, 0.85)
+>>> por2.color.material.opacity
+1.0
+>>> por2.color.material.ambientDiffuse
+(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
+>>> por2.color.material.isTexture()
+False
+>>> por2.color.material.isTranslucent()
+False
