The PSI Energy Colorizer is an item in Psychonauts. It can be purchased at the Camp Store in the Main Lodge for 250 arrowheads. It is not required to complete the game.

The Colorizer allows Razputin to change the color of his Levitation Ball and other powers by summoning Ford Cruller with the Bacon and asking him to do it for him. A wide variety of colors are available for selection.

“Now with that, you can change the color of some of your PSI powers, like your Levitation Ball, and what have you and whatnot. Well, kind of a vanity thing. In my day PSI powers were all gray and we thought that was grand. We were happy just to HAVE PSI powers. Ah, but you know kids these days.”

–Chef Cruller description at the Camp Store.

The PSI Energy Colorizer can be bought after or before gaining Levitation, but for that, first; it requires to be at rank 30 and second, to use it, obviously the player must have already obtained the PSI-Power for PSI-Floating. Counting the standard color for Levitation or Shield, there’s a total of 14 different type of colors.

“I’ll admit, the main appeal of that one is looks.”

–Otto Mentallis description from the Otto-Matic.

While the PSI Energy Colorizer does not return in the same way it did in the original game, it’s implementation was introduced as form of Pins for the Levitation Ball. Only three color pins exists but mixing them with each other can make other colors. Unlike the first game however, the ripples around the ball can change too.

Trivia

• In the camp store, Chef Cruller states PSI-powers were all grey back when he was young. It's likely he's joking, as Raz would have had no way to access a PSI energy colorizer before reaching Whispering Rock, and his PSI-color by default is a bright orange.
• Other powers that change when Razputin chooses a color is the Shield's protection aura and the inventory page where he stores your PSI Cadet merit badges.
• No matter what colour Razputin picks, his levitation ball will always be purple in Black Velvetopia.
• In the Psycho Manual the icon for the colorizer presents a 'Monochromatic Color'; this isn’t present in the game while looking at the item in the Camp Store.
  • Whoever from time to time it will change from any of the colors that are accessible to use.
