Re: [PyMOL] what is an object colored ?

Hi Jon,

this will give you the A1 object color:

s = cmd.get_session("A1", partial=1, compress=0)
print cmd.get_color_tuple(s["names"][0][5][0][2])

I use to query the color of the first atom instead of the "object color", see psico.querying.get_color:
https://github.com/speleo3/pymol-psico/blob/master/psico/querying.py

Cheers,
  Thomas
