Color Coded: Spring Fever

But after a quick trip to the Rainbow Pool you realize that not all paint brushes are lively and fun. Shadow paint brush? Relic paint brush? Grey paint brush?! Goodness, who thought these up? They’re not springy at all. Not to fear, though, for there are still plenty of gorgeous colors to choose from! Whether you prefer colors that scream “I’m here!” or a color that simply says, “Oh, hello there, don’t I look pretty?” you’ve come to the right place!

For those of you who prefer a simple change in coat, there’s the Pink Paint Brush and the Orange Paint Brush, which go for approximately 1.8 million and 650 thousand NP respectively. Simple, but vibrant, these paint brushes will add a smooth splash of color to your neopet. There aren’t any wild patterns or crazy wings to fuss with, so maintaining their fur, or scales, or skin would be an easy task. On top of that, both paint brushes can lead to an avatar. So owners, feel free to reward yourself a little after giving your pets such a pricey gift!

Not everyone has such deep pockets; believe me, I should know! Be it because you can’t afford anything outrageously priced, or you simply don’t want to spend that kind of cash, the Glowing Paint Brush would be great for you, because it goes for the modest price of about 50 thousand neopoints. So cheap, you could earn it in a day! The glowing paint brush is deceptively simple, despite it giving the painted neopet a rather... er, illuminating appearance. Once again, it’s a plain color without patterns, and the neon green shade fits right into the spring theme. It’s also useful if your pet happens to be afraid of the dark. Practical and fun, how about that!

Is your pet excitable and loves adventures? Or perhaps they just prefer the more subdued side of being glamorous. Whatever the reason, the Faerie Paint Brush is a great choice. Thanks to the recent plot (Thanks, Xandra!) the price of the faerie paint brush has dropped, bringing it down to a slightly more affordable one million. A faerie paint brush will usually give a pet a coat of light pinks, blues, and purples, though greens and yellows are known for sneaking in there. Just be sure to check out what your pet will look like ahead of time over at the Rainbow Pool. Oh, and don’t forget those gorgeous new wings.

Funky and fabulous, the Disco Fever Paint Brush sells at about 450 thousand NP. Covering your neopet in paisley and flowers, this paint brush is perfect for the pet that likes to live a little! Only pets with real style can pull off such a fantastic color with its loud shades of pinks, oranges, greens, and blues. This color just screams spring; it also screams DANCE PARTY! I mean, honestly, who doesn’t want to just break out into dance celebrate once spring rolls around? And this paint brush is the perfect way to do that. Get your groove on, everyone!

For the love of fruit and all that’s delicious, it’s the Strawberry Fields Forever Paint Brush. Up for grabs at a reasonable 400 thousand, there’s no reason not to love this paint brush. Like the colors red and green, especially combined? Bam! This paint brush has it! Can’t get enough of that tasty, tasty fruit? Shazam! We’ve got you covered! Don’t want to burn a hole in your wallet, but don’t want to come off as cheap to all your friends? Don’t think twice, just go out and buy this paint brush! It fits so perfectly into the theme of spring that I could end this article right here, and be satisfied knowing I recommended to you the perfect color. But I won’t.

Because ladies and gentlepets, we haven’t yet covered the Rainbow Paint Brush! It sells for only 375 thousand, and is so springy, and so colorful, and so cheerful that I myself have painted my own pet Ogrin this color. Yes, that’s right, I, the author, can vouch that this color won’t let you down. It gives you color (seven of them, to be precise), a fun pattern, and playfulness all in one modest little paint brush. Until TNT comes out with a flower paintbrush or something to that extent, it just doesn’t get any springy-er than this. In fact, it’s even more suiting to the spring theme, because it rains in spring and what comes out after it rains? A rainbow, of course! Eh? Eh? ...yeah, okay, I’m stretching it a little, but only because this is the absolute, positively perfect color!

So what was it? Were you bedazzled by the glowing paint brush? Stricken with awe by the strawberry deliciousness? Or perhaps you now have a suddenly overwhelming desire to shake your groove thang. Whatever the case may be, I hope you enjoy all the colors suggested, and pick one that best suits you and your wallet. Now go outside and enjoy that spring weather!

...

No, seriously, do it. The sun won’t shine forever, you know.
