Hi Konrad,
  We removed the particular RGB-color commands used in the past in
favor of consistency with the rest of VMD, using the indexed color scales.
If you want to assign specific colors, this can still be done by modifying
the color scale via a script and assigning the appropriate color index.
So, for example, you could do this (you can also use the 'graphics' commands
for more detailed control than the 'draw' commands give):
  color change rgb 54 1.0 1.0 0.0
  draw color 54
  draw sphere {0 0 0}
