* Version 4 - Yellow
* Version 5 - Pink
* Version 6 - Dark Blue

Draw Differently
If you’re looking for a different way to draw in PictoChat, consider coloring in your entire screen so that it’s black. Then, use your eraser tool to draw on the black, effectively reversing your color options!

Rainbow Pen on DSi
When you are in Pictochat on the DSi, press the pen icon on the touch screen until it is flashing different colours, while the icon is like this, draw on the touchscreen and your pictures will be drawn with a rainbow effect. This works only on DSi but the rainbow images can be sent to the DS Lite and DS.
