OK, bad assumption on my part.  I was assuming it was identifying beta turns.  
The Colors document on the Jmol site does indicate blue for beta turn.

Karl,

Here's the report for 2mhr according to DSSP,  which we are using now for 
Jmol's standard structure calculation. Wouldn't surprise me at all if a turn is 
3, 4, or 5 residues -- that's the nature of them in DSSP. 

SUMMARY:
G : A:12_A:14
H : A:19_A:37
H : A:41_A:64
T : A:65_A:66
T : A:68_A:69
H : A:70_A:85
T : A:86_A:86
H : A:93_A:109
T : A:110_A:110
G : A:111_A:114
T : A:115_A:117

and attached details. The various kinds of turns in DSSP are probably not all 
beta turns by that definition, because they can be from 4 to 6 residues:

>33<
>444<
>5555<

And if parts of them overlap with other structural forms, they will show up as 
being shorter than their usual length (see attached listing).

I'll be surprised if you can find an error vis-a-vis DSSP. I think we have a 
very solid implementation of that.

Hi All,

I have recently discovered what I think is erroneous output for turns when 
using calculate structure.  Beta turns contain four residues, but the segments 
that are colored blue after using calculate structure are from two to five 
residues long.  Some of the ones that are three and five residues contain a 
hydrogen bond between the residues expected for a beta turn.  It appears that 
some turns are being marked short by one residue and others are long by a 
residue.  I get these results using the application with 12.0.34 and on 
Proteopedia by adding 
'?JMOLJAR=http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-12/JmolAppletSigned0.jar'
 to the page url.  It occurs with myohemerythrin (2mhr.pdb) and domain 2 of 
chain a of glycogen phosphorylase.
