The color of visualized atoms can be changed selecting the items in View -> Color menu (click here for more information). The preselected coloring methods are:

Color by atom
Color by atom
(white = hydrogen, green = carbon, red = oxygen, blue = nitrogen, yellow = sulfur, cyan = fluorine, magenta = chlorine or unknown atom, orange = bromine, violet = iodine).
  
Color by residue
Color by residue
  
Color by chain
Color by chain

Color by H-Bond
It colors the H-bond acceptor (blue) and donor (magenta) atoms. 
  
Color by charge
Color by charge
The color ramp indicates the more negative (blue) and the more positive (red).
  
Color by constraint
It colors the molecule by constraint: blue fixed, green freed.
