6. The CPK colour scheme was first used in Rasmol, and is based upon the colours of the popular plastic spacefilling models which were developed by Corey, Pauling and later improved by Kultun. This colour scheme colours 'atom' objects by the atom (element) type, and is the scheme conventionally used by chemists. The assignment of element type to colours is: Carbon=light-grey, Chlorine=green, Oxygen=red, Bromine and Zinc=brown, Hydrogen=white, Sodium=blue, Nitrogen=light-blue, Iron=purple, Sulfur=yellow, Calcium and other metals=dark-grey, Phosphorus=orange, Unknown=deep-pink.
