Hi,
  It depends greatly on how you want to select the residues as to how you
would proceed with coloring them. If you want all ALA residues to be a
different color, you can simply do something like:
  color Resname ALA red

If you want to color a certain group of residues a particular way, it is
often best to use atom selections to select that group of residues, and
then set the color via the ColorID coloring method:
  mol modselect 0 0 "resid 1 to 10"
  mol modcolor 0 0 ColorID 0

There's more information about all of this in the User's Guide.
