969	Color subcommands for zone, map, etc.	Elaine Meng	Tom Goddard	"Tom G:
Maybe the color command would be easier to grasp if zone and map were made subcommands

	color zone #1 near #2 distance 5
	color sample #1 map #2 palette spectral range 0,10 offset 1.5

and future additions like radial coloring and range color could follow this pattern of using subcommands

	color radial #1 center #2 palette p
	color range #1 attribute bfactor

Elaine:
I agree with making the various kinds of of coloring into subcommands, certainly:

color sequential
color zone

… I’m OK with the “sample” or “range” subcommands you proposed, but maybe other words would be better, e.g. “bymap” or “byattribute” 

… we already have subcommandss for managing the list of named colors

color name
color delete
color list
color show

… and as you said, it works for future additions like

color radial
color cylindrical
color height  -OR-  color topography"	enhancement	closed	moderate	0.7	Command Line		fixed				581		all	ChimeraX
