Michal,
For mixed colors, you need to use the same trick (separate objects).
However, if you want the spheres to have a uniform color, in which case you can
"set sphere_color,white" etc., without having to create separate objects.
PyMOL's internal raytracer isn't likely to support perspective any time
soon. Instead, I recommend using PovRay.
Cheers,
Warren
