"CPK" stands for Corey-Pauling-Koltun. It commonly refers to spacefilling physical molecular models developed by Corey, Pauling and Koltun<ref>Corey, RB and Pauling L (1953), Molecular models of amino acids, peptides and proteins. Rev.

The command "color cpk" applies this color scheme in popular molecular visualization programs such as [[RasMol]], [[Chime]], and [[Jmol]]. The complete set of element colors used by Jmol is available at [http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jscolors/ Jmol Colors], where the colors used by RasMol are compared with those used by Jmol. The CPK color scheme for the elements is also incorporated into a standard set of color schemes for macromolecules, [[DRuMS]].
