now, are you sure you don't just want to read the property value there? You
have five options:

1 electrostatic_potential
2 hydrophobicity
3 temperature_factor
4 minimum_curvature
5 maximum_curvature

Is there something the color itself adds to that?

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
