[Visualpython-users] Colors and shading

[Mr G. K. <s40...@st...>]

In the Vpython tutorial it has instructions for making a red ball:

ball = sphere(pos=(-5,0,0), radius=0.5, color=color.red)

It mentions there are 8 colors easily accessible by color.xxx

I can get other colors with color=(R,G,B) where each element is a number
from 0 to 255, but then the shading doesn't work, so it just looks like
a circle, not a sphere.

Is there any way to have shaded 3D objects in colors other than the
eight accessible by color.xxx?
