Yes. You can use either connected() commands or the SMARTS 
expressions in your script.

Normally you would do

1. define your target atom set (using connected or smarts)
2. select it
3. apply a highlight, e.g. color, halos, size...
4. unselect (not essential but a good practice)

All that may go inside the page in the form of JavaScript or maybe 
JmolScript inside the javascript
Regarding the choice of a color, either you hard-code it or it is 
purely a question of html interface (e.g. a drop-dwon menu for the 
user to pick)
