Dear Yeping 

You can color the surface independent of the atom color with the command

set surface_color, (color), (selection)

similarly, you color the cartoon representation dependent of the atom color with the command

set cartoon_color, (color), (selection)

best regards

Annemarie

I display one residue as stick. I want to color the stick by element, but keep the surface representation as blue. However, I don't know how to do this. I can color the residue (please see the  Gln in the yellow circle at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bviFQGUKgqLdbE-cUNDtzDZSdabc0N4Z), but both the stick and the surface representations are colored by element. Could anyone tell me how to color stick representation of this Gln by element but keep its surface representation as blue?
