Unfortunately, multiply colored strands within molscript are not
possible.  However, for the problem you describe--showing hte
positions of particular mutations--I would draw alpha carbon of each
residue as a CPK.  This makes it clear where the mutation is, without
making the picture incomprehensibly complex.

There are a variety of other programs which can shade a single strand,
although the quality of the strand itself may not be as nice.  For
example, I am pretty certain that rasmol can do this.
