Jay, I've actually started to work on a general version of this. Do you want to help? I am at the stage of outlining behavior and figuring out the best interface. Here's what I've thought of so far. If your are interested in working on this let me know and we'll move the discussion to jmol-developers...
Interface: a) A browser pop-up menu that includes a list of all atoms or residues (essentially duplicates the list in the Jmol menu). This will require using callbacks to the applet to get the list of what is in the displayed molecule(s). There are also some issues with making sure things update if the displayed molecule changes. b) The color could be selected using the colorpicker widget that I developed for SAGE and is now included for picking the background color in the Jmol WebExport tool. Some examples of how it looks are at: http://www.uwosh.edu/faculty_staff/gutow/Jmol_Web_Page_Maker/JmolColorPicker/Jmol%20Color%20Picker%20Test.html (this example needs some updating but will give you an idea of how the color picker behaves.).
