But how do we tell, at a glance,  the difference between a bad hydroxyl O
and an OK  one if they are both red (for just being oxygen)?

I think something other than colour needs to be the cue for bad ADP ratios
so they don't get mistaken for a normal atom-type display.

For NDP atoms I like mercury's choice of displaying a cube.
