First off, I hate this smilie. Still, I was noticing that the guy furthest in the back and the one on the front right both change color from olive green to orange and back again. Are they becoming too tipsy and are about to barf? If there's a disco ball or a strobe light that's affecting their coloring, why don't the purple, blue, and red people change too? Are they secret agents displaying new chameleon technology? Why on earth do they change? And why those colors?

The colors are not olive-green and orange, but red and blue. This was instituted to help bring forward the need to recognize green-orange color-blindness as a serious condition.

They are twins, but twins of different colors, one is orange and the other is green, but they are trading places so quickly that it looks like they are changing colors.
They do this using the legendary magic powers of the drunken twin smilies, but to use the power they have to drink so much that the only spell they can remember is trading places. So they stand at oposite corners of the party to make it more impressive.
The two blue ones are doing the same thing, but no one really notices it.

They're both stark white, but they're out on the dance floor right underneath lights that change colors.

Interesting. First of all, the blue guy on the right if the furthest back. And secondly, the guy furthest back on the left and in front are orange and turn to olive green. Obviously, they are about to puke. Sheesh, you people know nothing of partying.

What looks like a balloon is really a red-hot torch, and the red guy is burning up. All the others are running around, screaming and unable to decide how to help. They are, of course, the five guys from "Queer Eye."The creme brulee went terribly wrong.

You've heard of red-blue shift observable in astronomical objects that are moving either away from us or towards us at incredible amounts of speed? Well, this is an example of oragne-green shift (the complementary colors of blue and red, you'll note) - a slightly less-observed phenomenon that occurs when things are moving to the left or right at incredible speeds. These guys happen to be moving back and forth, thus accounting for their changing color. They are moving at 87% light speed, so if you watch the animation long enough, you'll notice they're not aging as quickly as the other partiers, and were you try to move one from its position, you'd find it a heck of a lot more massive.

Some women are golddiggers, some pander to rock stars... I just happen to be an astrophysicist groupie. I'm already tight with Robert Zubrin and a personal buddy to two physics professors and one grad student here at MSU.
I've got all kinds of great pickup lines like "You rock all eleven of my dimensions, baby" and "Whoa, you just crossed my event horizon!"

I always thought they were in a club, and that that was the result of the psycadelic lighting.
They are actually yellow (like normal smilies), but blue and red lights flash around them. The other guys are white, but in the apex of the spinning colored lights, where the light doesn't move. The only colored one is the purple one, who is actually blue.
(What, you thought that was a balloon that one in the middle was holding? It's obviously a Christmas light.)
