Usage:
modelcolor color_name atom-spec

Visible color is determined by a hierarchy: color at the model level is overruled by more specific color settings, such as individually assigned atom colors or per-residue ribbon colors. The command modelcolor assigns color at the model (or submodel) level. Color sets colors at the atom level. Surfcolor sets which of these is used as the source for visible surface colors. Ribcolor sets ribbon colors at the residue level.

If the atom-spec is blank, all open molecule models will be affected; otherwise, the entire model(s) containing atom-spec will be affected. A color change at the model level will not be visible, however, if color assignments at an overriding level already exist. Modelcolor only acts on molecule-type models. Model-level color can also be changed in the molecule model attributes panel.

Color_name is a built-in name or a name defined previously with colordef. A special color name is colorpanel, which refers to the color currently defined in the Color Editor.
