These are the tables that are currently in use. They represent the
'pastel' colors for the chains.

A chain with the same letter is always colored the same. As I recall, this
differs from RasMol in three ways:
 1. chain with the same letter is always colored the same
 2. the actual colors are different
 3. the available color palette is larger, so more colors are used

Atoms are colored out of the 'atom' table. HETATM out of the hetero table.

The table has 27 entries. The null entry is for the ' ' (space) chain and
for non alpha-numeric chain identifiers.

Upper & lower case chain letters get mapped to the same chain color. (Note
that this is independent of the 'set chainCaseSensitive on|off' command
which controls expression evaluation behavior)

These were commented out using /* ... */

They are no longer in use. I will remove them from the code.
