Say you happen to be taking a tour of your nearest Pantone color matching facility, or say you really want to spy on what other paint colors people are choosing for their walls. How could you ever camouflage yourself with such a colorful background to disappear into?

The Paper Mask Prototype features a colorful design, perfect for hiding in paint color sample books and other flamboyantly colored areas. Also great for people who have a hard-on for bar graphs.

Confusing title? Absolutely, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. This here is a pumpkin, with the Super Mario Brothers 1UP mushroom carved out and an LED planted in the center. It looks sweet as hell, but even sweeter is that pumpkin they had to scoop out beforehand. Mmmm, pumpkin.

Guess which country gets cool colors slapped on a PSP while America gets the shaft? If you guessed France, you’re close, but no frog legs for you. Japan will see the Sony PSP 3000 released in bright blue, red, yellow and green, ensuring that girls go ga-ga for it as if it were the latest fashion accessory.

The rainbow-hued consoles will go on sale in Japan on March 19th for ¥19,800 ($223). Also available will be a kit, featuring a 4GB MemoryStick, a “private porch” (pouch) and a handosutorappu, which we believe to be a hand strap. The kit will go for ¥24,800 ($279).

Ah, being lost in translation. Priceless. If you want a colorful PSP of your own, you’ll have to do a little importing my friend.

Finding room for both an iPod dock and a lamp can be tough business when it comes to decking out your little end table. For iHome’s latest idea, the iLamp, preventing end table clutter will never be easier. It’s almost like every other iPod dock. It’s got a 6W speaker output and it differentiates by incorporating a bitchin’ light source for night reading.

Just like the iPod, the iLamp comes in a variety of different colors that will appeal to your ever changing lifestyle. Are you a vampire? Blood red is for you. Emo? Emo blue. Lacking in the hygiene department? Disgusting green. Anyone and everyone can get down with this double whammy of light and sound goodness. It’ll just cost you $89.99.

Living in New York, you’d think I’d be pretty excited for New Year’s Eve and all. After all, millions of people cram into Times Square to see The Jonas Brothers play their hits and to watch the famous ball drop. This year, the ball will feature over 16 million colors, 2668 Waterford Crystals and 32,256 LEDs. Yes, over thirty-two thousand LEDs. Keep an eye out for it tonight as the clock strikes midnight! Happy New Year!

Here’s a bedside light and clock that looks like something the infamous TokyoFlash would come up with. It’s a clock represented by different colored lights. You read the clock left to right and each different color is a specific number. I’m sure with a little training, you could get it down pat but imagine waking up at 3:27 AM trying to figure out what time it is. Seems like a hassle. At least it makes for great mood lighting. $75, no colorblind people please.

If you want to call it an update, that is. For $49, you can score a 1GB iPod Shuffle in one of four new colors: blue, green, red and pink. Your old pal silver is still available, just in case you read too many Ziggy cartoons as a child. Apple has a 2GB version available as well for only $69, making it the better deal. Are you as excited as I am for these brand-fucking-new colors? Glad to hear it.

Did you love our interview with Evan Dorkin? For a similar style in art (at least in my opinion), check out Nikki Cook’s work at her website. I hear she has a few graphic novels coming out. Might be worth investigating.

Unless you’re one of those crazy Rainman-like guys who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute, then the cube has caused you some sort of frustration or grief at one point in your life. Well, this new Rubik’s Cube appears even more difficult than its predecessor.

Without colors on any side, the only leeway you get is from the varying sizes and even that will probably throw you off track.  On top of that, to create even more frustration, the surrounding sides of each individual block have reflective mirrors on its surface. I’m getting angry just thinking about solving this thing.

We can never get enough of these TokyoFlash watches. The company is notorious for making watches that are nearly impossible to read, such as the Infection or the Eleeno E3.  Thankfully, it’s newest creation, the Negative, is actually readable.

That’s because it presents the time normally, except what makes this watch special is its display of time in negative space.  Highlighted surrounding squares define the unlit squares on the screen which display the time digitally.  It comes in black or silver and on top of that, each watch is capable of switching between seven different colors. That’s a different color for each day in the week! Additionally, the watch has a vertical or horizontal display option, several alarm functions, 12/24 hour mode and multi-color mode, which randomly sends the watch on a fritz as it switches among all seven of its available colors. For $160 dollars, this watch is a bargain as it’s as cool as they come (digitally) and will make you stand out during a nightly gathering.
