# Color options

The color menu works in a similar way to the show and hide menus. Once the user has chosen a structure from the Selection menu, they can then apply a color to it through the Color menu. While a few commonly used colors are listed, the user can customize a color by selecting the ‘Other’ option. The CPK option refers to the color scheme developed by Corey, Pauling and Koltun that colors atoms by element type.
