Color schemes can be applied to structural nodes to modify the colors of atoms and bonds. Color schemes can also be applied to Visual models, e.g. to colorize the secondary structure.
Color schemes may be used to e.g. assign a constant color to a node, colorize atoms by residue, chain, etc, or based on some node property (e.g., temperature factor, atom velocity, etc.).
When a color scheme is applied to a node, all the node’s descendants are affected.
Three types of color schemes are available:
There is a number of default per-attribute color schemes, you can see some of them on the image below.
Color schemes can be applied to selected nodes via the context menu or using Visualization menu > Colorize or Biology menu > Colorize.
If you want to reset the color scheme, then select the node and, in the context menu, click on Set color > Reset.
