Any idea for changing plant flowers colors?

If you mean purples then I've found that if it's in the genetics then some sea weed extract (has to be the good stuff) will bring out the color better. A friend gave me some GDP's a long time ago and told me that the smell and the flavor was there just not the color. Ok, I gave it a go and it got nice and purple on the side too. Later asked him what he used and he only used flora nova and I used something else (I don't remember) but I use seaweed too and that was the difference.

Good to know... What brand of seaweed extract and how often you use it?

cold temps. If you give your plants a nice long flush at the end, your leaves will get more yellow (less green) and it'll help the colors show a little more.

but really you should be focused on growing quality buds, not purple buds. Unless you just sell it all to kids who listen to rap music. In which case they will pay a premium for purple buds, regardless of quality. In which case you should keep flower temps cold, flush the shit out of em at the end, and tell them its purple kush.

Food coloring. just use the same process as you would use to change the color of a normal flower. I like blue myself as it mixes with the yellow chemicals in the plant to produce the purple hue.

people put ice in the hydro tanks it makes them purple quickly
or in soil water with ice water

bit before my time but im sure i read somewhere the old yellow/gold colored buds Colombian gold
were that colour because of a deficiency caused by damaging the stem at the end of flower
maybe you could read up on that

peace

As I posted about this in another thread, the red color in the stems of the plant is the same chemical used to make food coloring. It's non toxic and naturally occurs in the plants. Glitter on the other hand.... I can't see that one as being remotely ok.

"What are anthocyanins? Anthocyanins(food coloring) are the pigments dissolved in cell sap."

They are the red to purple in color and often appear in flowers during late bloom
