==Color Keys==
A molecular scene usually communicates best when a color key is provided. It is planned that a future version of Proteopedia will provide a mechanism to place a color key in the legend or caption beneath the molecular scene in Jmol (see [[Proteopedia:Wishlist]]), but this is not yet available. At present, you can put colored text or an image in the wikitext of your page.

==Color Key Templates==
Templates are available to make it easy to insert a color key for some of the standard color schemes that are available on buttons under the ''Colors'' tab in the ''Scene Authoring Tool''. How to insert a color key template into wikitext is is explained on the page about the [[DRuMS|DRuMS Standard Color Schemes]], where you will also see examples of color keys as colored wikitext. Also, you can view the source of this page to see how it is done.

==Coloring Text==
If one of the templates above does not provide what you need, you can color text using HTML. For example, to produce
<center><big><b><font color='red'>Red</font> and <font color='green'>Green</font></b></big></center>
enter the following in the wikitext box:
<br><nowiki>
<center><big><b><font color='red'>Red</font> and <font color='green'>Green</font></b></big></center>
