Default colors used by Jmol
Several users have asked about a guide to colors used by Jmol by default.
This documentation is now available on Jmol website here. Suggestions are welcome for future improvements, via jmol-users mailing list.
The plan is:
- colors for atoms (by element) --done
- colors for chains --done
- colors for groups / residues --done
- alternative color patterns: Jmol, Rasmol, DRuMS --partly done
- anything else?
Support for isotopes
Common isotopes are recognized by Jmol and colored slightly lighter or darker than the element color:
isotope | color | color code | script syntax |
---|---|---|---|
2H | [xFFFFC0] | _2H, _D, deuterium | |
3H | [xFFFFA0] | _3H, _T, tritium | |
11C | [xD8D8D8] | _11C | |
13C | [x505050] | _13C | |
14C | [x404040] | _14C | |
15N | [x105050] | _15N |
