Thanks for the suggestion?
For now, why not just redefine the existing colors?
No need for a leading underscore...
set_color green= [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22]
etc.
Note that there are default atom colors such as "carbon", "nitrogen", "oxygen",
"hydrogen", "sulfur", etc. which should also be redefined.
set_color carbon= [0.00 , 0.53 , 0.22]
etc,
