It is - but only just :)   The graphical interface doesn't really have 
any controls for doing this within the program. Something that we hope 
to fix in a future release.

The simplest way is to prepare an annotations file that creates a group 
for each sequence in the alignment and assigns it a colour. The 
annotation file has a tab-delimited structure, and its format is 
described here: 
http://www.jalview.org/help/html/features/annotationsFormat.html

For example, to assign colours to three sequences 'FER1_MESCR', 
'FER1_SPIOL', 'FER1_MAIZE':

JALVIEW_ANNOTATION

SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_MESCR\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_MESCR
SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_SPIOL\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_SPIOL
SEQUENCE_GROUP\tFER1_MAIZE\t0\t0\t-1\tFER1_MAIZE
PROPERTIES\tFER1_MESCR\tidColour=red
PROPERTIES\tFER1_MAIZE\tidColour=blue
PROPERTIES\tFER1_SPIOL\tidColour=green

Note - the '\t's need to be replaced with tab symbols!

Jim.
