The colors show up as the inside of your pipe gets coated with resin. Boiling your pipes or cleaning them however will remove the color, but should not affect its color changing properties unless you use an exceptionally abrasive cleaning technique.
That is why glass pipes can be so expensive, there can often be 6-10 hours of work in a 5 inch spoon. But you can tell quality pieces from junk by the amount of work on the pipe (inside-out work, creative colors, exterior canwork, etc.) and the weight of the glass (heavier means more glass means harder to break). To check if your pipe will change color, place it against any black background (e.g. the sleeve of a black hoodie) you will get an idea of the colors that will come with time. Any head shop worth its two cents will have a piece of black cloth, often a velvet pad, to inspect pieces on.
Btw, nice piece, just keep an eye on that skinny part in the neck, it'll clog on ya

Whenever I get a new one I always swear nothing but nice will burn in it... until I run out, then for some reason or another (nothing else is handy, or stranded somewhere w/it) I always end up polluting it w/ratwd.Don\'t mess with Texas.
