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.
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.
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 raises or lowers the Neopet's stats, changes the sex of your selected Neopet, changes the species and/or colour of the selected pet, and you can not paint a the zapped Neopet 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 through 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, also this can apply for the Kiko with the chokato-flavoured magical chia pop. Also the onion-flavoured magical chia pop can transform the Kiko or the JubJub, not yet for the Chia, strangely.
Magical Plushies
- Main Article: Plushies
Another kind of plushie that is also vendored in the Plushie Palace. Any Neopet plushie using 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 to that named/coloured pet that played with it. 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.
Rainbow Fountain
- Main Article: Rainbow Fountain
The Rainbow Fountain was showed up in Neopets in 2001 as a sponsor gift. If you would of signed up with sponsors players, you would of earned 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. Then this Sponsor shut down.
Years later it was brought back on neopets, also there were some restrictions on colours you could paint your pet. The fountain won't allow you to paint your pet Robot, Royal, Quiguki, Usuki, or MSP. And 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.
