Kudos to your TED talk.

Very interesting what happens to a skin if you just let some color changing happen. I said that the non-pearlescent variant doesn't have a very creative motiv, and I still stand by this point. However, I feel that with this version, this is offset by the extremely vibrant pink that can be seen when holding the weapon in default position.
Whereas a completely red sky brings demolition, perdition and death (just look at videos of people living near large wildfires), purple skies speak of otherworldy influences, magic and pure evil attacking everyday life. You may be able to stop what is causing the sky to turn red, but if it's turned purple, you're most likely out of luck and have to hope that Main Character™ comes to save everyone.
Switching between those two not only looks sick, but also leaves a lot of room for interpretation as you jsut saw. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
