Every year, the inhabitants of Coppelius take part in a ceremony to restore their colors, and then they gradually turn white as the colors slowly drain away throughout the year. When the Little Prince lands on their planet, Coppelius, the master of ceremonies on the planet Coppelius, is distracted by an important project. The inhabitants of the planet worry that they might not have their color restored.
