NEW/NO BOX 1 ROUND LIGHT UP COASTER WITH CHARGER First off the pictures show the coaster with the protective film over it so that's why it looks darker in the first couple pictures. You can peel it off when you get it. Hold down the on/off button and it will come on. Then press it for the color you want. I think there are 4 or five different colors. I don't have a purple picture but I know there's a purple color. Keep pressing the color and one color will blink on and off. Keep going through the colors and the last one will go through each color by itself. My kids had a set of these growing up and it made them appreciate a coaster, especially if it had to do with gaming. Thanx for looking and check back often :D
