I'm glad that you asked!

Your proposal works for *most* things. The schemes can now be applied
quite independently to the different types of objects. And the
translucent/opaque can be used anyplace.

So, for example, you can say:

color atoms amino
color cartoons translucent shapely

And it will give you a strange rainbow combination.

However, I wasn't sure what to do with bonds. The current model is that
bonds can only have one color. When they are inheriting the atom colors
they get drawn as two colors because their *one* color is _none_.

So, I didn't really know what to do with 'color bonds cpk' or 'color bonds
amino' because the bonds are split into two different colors.

I am somewhat afraid to introduce two different colors for bonds because
it is not clear to me what kind of impact this would have on 'set bondmode
and|or'

Q: What do you folks think we should do?

Q: Should we allow bonds to have more than one color?

Q: Does this mean that there is a third 'bondmode' ?

Try to think through the implications of these things and let me know what
you folks think.

The color infrastructure is good enough that it could now support it, but
I don't want to create a bunch of scripting issues ...
