Something weird seems to be going on with the energy color of non-robotic pets since the introduction of secondary energy/emissive colors. Most noticeable on helminth chargers, where opening the menu to select a pattern with all default colors causes the energy to change to a bright red, while selecting the pattern causes it to go back to the normal default, but pressing escape in the menu instead of double clicking a pattern leaves the bright red color instead. Further, hitting the randomize button on a helminth charger seems to permanently alter this hidden secondary color on a given appearance slot to this other default color, very visible swapping the energy to something dark. This doesn't seem to be entirely exclusive to helminth chargers either, the glowing parts of kavats have a similar strange behavior when selecting a tertiary color, including the strangeness persisting when backing out rather than selecting a color. I also grew a new kavat in preparation for the upcoming breed, and while the natural tertiary color was a pale bright pink the energy color was apparently a pale yellow, and I'm not sure if such a disconnect used to be possible. All 3 of the older kavats I have to hand seem to have the exact same natural tertiary color as they do energy.
