The '''Decorative Goo'''  {{j|オレの色|Ore no Iro|My Color}} is a [[treasure]] found in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. It is a used tube of blue {{w|acrylic paint}}.

In ''Pikmin 2'', the label reads "{{j|あおいろ|aoi ro|blue color|f=tp}}" in the Japanese version of ''Pikmin 2'', and "Mario Paint" in the American and European versions (including the Switch port), referencing the game [[mariowiki:Mario Paint|Mario Paint]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', the label is more generic with unreadable text, with the word "Blue" in bold alongside a yellow dot. Like other treasures in the [[Soulful Artist Series]], this one is reminiscent of [[Blue Pikmin]]. It can be found in a sublevel with [[water]] and many [[:Category:Water enemies|water-based enemies]], and is likely the first place the player will discover Blue Pikmin.

===Collecting the treasure===
{{guide}}
It can be easily achieved once Olimar obtains ten [[Blue Pikmin]]. This is also where the [[Radiation Canopy]] was found in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. Access to the treasure is locked behind an [[electric gate]], meaning that [[Yellow Pikmin]] will be needed. Once the gate is destroyed, all that needs doing is having 10 Blue Pikmin carry the treasure back to the [[Hocotate ship|ship]]; bear in mind the path back to base contains a [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]].

It is possible to collect this treasure earlier, without the use of Yellow Pikmin, by using the [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Carrying charge|carrying charge]] glitch.

=== Treasure Hoard appearance ===
[[File:Pikmin 2 flying Decorative Goo.png|thumb|The treasure floating in the Treasure Hoard.]]
Oddly, depending on the [[region]] and [[area]], the treasure will appear differently when viewed in the [[Treasure Hoard]]. In the Japanese version, the treasure always appears correctly. In the US version, the treasure always appears to float above the floor. In the European version, in all areas except the [[Perplexing Pool]], the treasure again appears at ground level, but it lacks a shadow; in the Perplexing Pool, it looks the same as in the US version. All of these differences can also be found in the respective [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|Wii re-releases]] for each region.

The reason for this is because in the US version, something unknown changed in the treasure's geometry, making it appear slightly above its origin point, compared to the Japanese version. The US developers did not realize this, and so the treasure is visually floating in that version. For the European version, this oversight was caught, but instead of correcting the model's data, the developers altered the spawn position of the treasure to be five units below floor level.<ref>The coordinates for each Treasure Hoard area, bar the Perplexing Pool, are 0,-5,0, as seen in <code>/user/Yamashita/zukan/pal/*/arc.szs/data/setting.ini</code>.</ref> While this does visually place the tube on the floor, it also means its shadow doesn't appear, since the object's Y coordinate is technically under the floor, and there is no floor below that to project a shadow onto. The coordinates for the Perplexing Pool have not been changed since it is very hard to even notice the problem, given that the treasure is underwater.

====Olimar's journal====
'''English GameCube/Wii'''
{{transcript|With the assistance of the blue Pikmin, we found a canister of paint today. I used it to give the ship a fresh coat of paint! But did it thank me? Noooo. As a space pilot, I've always treated my ship like a trusted companion (even if it is a smart aleck). Yet, this snobbish ship has the gall to complain about the color! There's no pleasing it! Forget this...I'm going to bed.|block=y}}

===Collecting the treasure===
{{guide}}
It is sitting atop a ledge at the north of sublevel 1 of the [[Secluded Courtyard]]. To collect this treasure, you must throw 3 Pikmin at it. You can also knock it down with a [[Rush]] from [[Oatchi]]. The path back to the base is [[hazard]] and [[enemy]] free, aside from one [[Sunsquish]] hiding in one of the 3 nearby [[nectar egg]]s. Either dispatch the enemy beforehand or leave it be; it lies in the central egg.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Decor Blue Paint.png|thumb|100px|The Blue Paint Decor Pikmin.]]
*Despite having a changed design in the North American and European versions, the icon for the Decorative Goo is unchanged from the Japanese version in ''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|New Play Control!]] releases.
*A blue stain can be found where the ''Pikmin 2'' version of the treasure is located, suggesting that some of the paint in the tube either leaked or was dumped out, possibly by the Blue Pikmin found lurking near it.
*The Decorative Goo is found near Blue Pikmin in both games it appears in, a trait carried over into the [[Soulful Artist Series]] with other colors.
*The ''Pikmin 4'' version of Decorative Goo is worn by a Blue Paint [[Decor Pikmin]] in ''[[Pikmin Bloom]]''. The paint tube is open, unlike in Pikmin 4.
