The multi-colored Smurfs appeared in The Egg and the Smurfs. They are a trio of ordinary Smurfs who use the magic egg to wish to be other colors instead of blue: one becomes yellow, one red and the other one becomes purple with green stripes. When a Smurf wishes to the egg to be big, the purple-with-green-stripes Smurf dismisses him as not big enough compared to the elephant another Smurf had wished for, so the Smurf wishes to be even bigger until he ends up as a gargantuan Smurf.
