I discovered that there is no official standard, but most programs (not kits) use the following default colors for these 5 elements: hydrogen (white) carbon (gray) nitrogen (blue) oxygen (red) sulfur (yellow) Colors for other elements vary widely.

I haven't seen anything around that talks about that. Where do you think we are going to see the first real results of these early systems showing up and in what timeframes? =) I think it would be neat to have an article that talks about any progress that engineers have made in any kind of mechanochemistry (other than AFMs, etc).

Maybe someone else will dig up a longer version. —Christine Here is a short list from http://www.schoolmasters.com/chemkits3.html:

But so far my web searches haven't turned up a list. I’ve frequently wondered which colors traditionally represent which chemical elements in images and animations such as these.
