It's the "Spectra-txt" and you can text message it from anywhere in the world with one of six commands that will prompt the 10-meter, 2 ton form to change colors.

Interact with Spectra-txt by texting one of the following commands to this number:

07919 00 00 77

blue
starvibe
xxx
pearl
boro
chromapop

(The text message charge will depend on the sender's phone tariff.)
