Anja, You can specify any possible colour using RGB attributes: from the manual: Each feature displayed in Artemis can be given a colour. The available colours are set in the options file (see Chapter 4) and are assigned to a feature by adding a /colour qualifier (see the section called Edit Selected Features in Chapter 3). Currently there are two ways of specifying feature colours. The first way uses a single number. For example red is colour 2, so adding /colour=2 as a feature qualifier will make that feature red. The second way is to specify the red, green and blue components of the colour. Each of the components can take values from 0 to 255, with 255 being the most intense. For example /colour=255 0 0 is another way to give a feature the colour red. If no /colour qualifier is set for a feature a default colour is used (the default colours are also specified in the options file).
