Colour
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, chaging the colour of a Petpet will change that Petpet into a different item.

Paint Brushes

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.

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

If your Chia eats one of these, the Chia will transform into a uniquely coloured chia, also this can apply for the Kiko with the chokato-flavoured magical chia pop.
Magical Plushies
A different kind of plushie that is also sold in the Plushie Palace. Any pet-shaped plushie prefaced with the word Magical is a special item that acts like a Morphing Potion and will actually change a user's pet when played with. For example, a Magical Green Kiko Plushie will turn a users pet into a Green Kiko. 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. These items are extremely rare and are only available for a select collection of around 27 pet species and 13 colours as of April 2009. In all, there are only 76 different Magical Plushies. The magical plushies look identical to the non-magical plushie of the same type.
