Okay, good. In some scenes the color is ambiguous (because of the ambient lighting), so I'm not sure how to describe all the different ways his color keeps changing scene by scene. But these two scenes are unambiguously different in color:



Also, I already considered the possibility that it may be an animation error ("off-model"). But I think that's relatively less likely in CGI animation, because animators maintain a library of custom models with textures that don't change unless it's really necessary. Ambient lighting only does so much in most scenes. So it's almost certain that they keep making changes to Slash's 3D model&mdash;otherwise it would just be the same color from scene to scene (barring ambient lighting, of course). We already have demonstrable evidence that they not only keep changing Slash's color sometimes within the same episode, but they updated his model to give him that yellow lower jaw. So my intuition tells me all the changes are likely intentional for some reason or another.

Wouldn't it be interesting of Slash's fluctuating color actually became a plot point in a future episode? I mean, when his color changes, it doesn't change fast enough to be noticeable in the middle of the same scene. (This is sorta like how chameleons can only change color really slowly.) But someone could observe how Slash went between blue and green, and correlate it to his moods or whatever.
