Temperature color schemes

Fixed vs. RelativeFixed vs. Relative

Jmol offers two methods for coloring by temperature value. (For an introduction to the temperature value or B factor, please see Temperature value.)

SAT colors button	Jmol command	Blue	White	Red
temperature, fixed	color fixedTemperature	0	50	100
temperature, relative	color relativeTemperature*	minimum value	unclear	maximum value

*The relativeTemperature color scheme is the same as the temperature color scheme.

Other examples:

• 2zqp 6.0 Å Temperature min/av/max: 328/328/328. Fixed is red; relative is white.
• 1bdx 6.0 Å Temperature min/av/max: 30/30/30. Fixed is light blue; relative is white.
• 1qd7 5.5 Å Temperature min/av/max: 0.0/19/102. Fixed & relative seem identical.
