When Appu fell into the tubs of paint, his whole body becomes colored pink. His collar, hair, and tail get pink as well. His paint never washes off even at the end of the episode.

Appu also enjoys attention, he happily ate the gulab jamun offered by Chaiwala as pink elephants were considered a symbol of good luck in their culture.
