automatically change object colors in pymol from python

Question

I am trying to change the color of many objects in pymol from python. I made this for loop

obs = ['R8', 'R1X', 'R2X', 'R11']
for i in obs:
    print "color gray, %s" % i

from pymol I run

run myscript.py

but the pymol interface simply prints the the command that should change the color, and does not change the color of the structure.

In order to execute Pymol commands from python you need to use cmd. In your case this would be:

cmd.color('gray', i)
