Colour is an attribute of a Neopet or Petpet that affects its appearance.
When a user creates a Neopet using the Create a Neopet feature they can choose one of four basic colours for their Neopet: Blue, Yellow, Green, or Red.
Since Petpets are items, changing the colour of a Petpet will change that Petpet into a different item.
Changing a Neopet's colour
Paint Brushes
- Main Article: Paint Brush
The most common way to change a Neopet's colour is to paint it with a Paint Brush at the Rainbow Pool. To do this, a user must first have one or more Paint Brushes in their inventory. Next they must go to the Rainbow Pool main page, where they will be shown a picture of each of their Neopets. Beneath each Neopet, there will be a drop down box containing each of the Paint Brushes in the user's inventory that can be used on that particular Neopet. The user must then select their desired Paint Brush and click the submit button to paint their pet.
Morphing Potions
- Main Article: Morphing Potion
A morphing potion is a potion that will change the Neopet's species/colour to the specified Neopet in the potion's name. They are distributed at the Neopian Magic Shop. A potion that morphs a Neopet into a Mutant neopet is name a Transmogrification Potion.
Once a Neopet has drank a morphing potion, they acquire all the genes of the entitled species and/or colour, but can be transformed once more with a new potion, painted, or change by the Lab Ray.
Here are the Colours available via Morphing Potions:
Secret Laboratory
- Main Article: Secret Laboratory
There are nine map pieces you can get from a Random Event or from a user's store. When the lab ray is used on the selected pet it can raise or lower the Neopet's stats, change the gender, or change the species and/or colour of the selected pet. The Lab does have limitations: it can't zap Neopets into Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, or Usuki.
Magma Pool
- Main article: Magma Pool
When the Magma Pool is visited, your Neopet will change to a Magma Neopet. Unfortunately, there is a Magma Tonu blocking the entrance, and will not let you in, however, he might be dozing off on the job and you can pass by him.
Random Events
- Main Article: Random Event
Though they occur rarely, certain Random Events can change the colour of a user's Neopet. These Random Events will only change the colour of the user's active Neopet, and as of April 16, 2010, they will not affect unconverted Neopets.
There are currently five colour-changing Random Events. In the first of these events, a torrent of multi-coloured water falls on the user's Neopet and changes it to a random colour. In another, Boochi fires his ray gun at the user's Neopet and changes its colour to Baby. There is also a Random Event in which the colour of the user's Neopet spontaneously changes to Invisible. Lastly, there are two colour-changing Random Events that can only occur if the user's Neopet is unhappy. The first of these will turn the unhappy pet Blue and the other will turn it Red.
Magical Chia Pops
- Main Article: Magical Chia Pops
If your Chia eats one of these, the Chia will transform into a uniquely coloured Chia. Kikos can also be turned Chokato if they eat the Magical Chokato Chia Pop. Interestingly, while both Kikos and JubJubs can be zapped into Garlic, this colour does not exist for Chias at all. Also, if you want to make your JubJub or Kiko look like a pumpkin neopet, you would have to paint it with a Halloween Paint Brush
Magical Plushies
- Main Article: Plushies
Magical plushies are sold in the Plushie Palace along with regular plushies. Any Neopet plushie with the word "Magical" in it's name is considered a unique item that acts similar to a Morphing Potion and will actually change the pet that played with it into that named/coloured pet. The item is only good for one use and, after, the magic will be used up and the item will become a simple Green Kiko Plushie.
Here are the colours available from these items:
Rainbow Fountain
- Main Article: Rainbow Fountain
The Rainbow Fountain was introduced to Neopets in 2001 as a reward for signing up with sponsors. Signing earned you coupons toward painting/changing your pet. There used to be no restriction of what species/colour your pet could be changed to, and the only colour exclusive to the Secret Laboratory was Robot. This sponsor program lasted for a month then shut down.
Years later it was brought back on Neopets and this time there were some restrictions on colours you could paint your pet. The fountain won't allow you to paint your pet MSP, Royal, Sponge, Ice, Usuki, Quiguki or Robot. Changing species was no longer an option. You must successfully finish a Quest for the Fountain Faerie.
There is an item called Flask of Rainbow Fountain Water. When utilized on your Neopet it will randomly paint it any colour available for that species.
Changing a Petpet's colour
Petpet Paint Brush
- Main Article: Petpet Paint Brush
These Paint Brushes are made for PetPets, even some secret laboratory Neopet colours are made in paint Brushes for PetPets. There are two exclusive colours like Dung and Black.
Petpet Laboratory
- Main Article: Petpet Laboratory
This area can be utilized by obtaining all nine pieces of the Petpet Laboratory Map, these can be obtained from Random Events. It can change the type, colour, level, name of the selected Petpet, or even make it disappear forever. Petpets who are targeted by the Petpet Lab ray are unable to be awarded by the Petpet Protection League, because they will see it as Petpet cruelty. If the petpet is removed from your Neopet, it will reverse the effects that are applied to the zapped PetPet.
