When one ventures into the outside world late at night (between 3am and 6am looking for more booze/sex/drugs in particular), and decides to wear as many inappropriate and brightly coloured clothes as possible simultaneously, they are said to be a colour popen. Reasons for dressing like a colour popen can vary from sheer idiocy, undesiarable weather conditions and/or being highly intoxicated.
"Jesus Christ almighty, and Moses and Joseph and all the saints above! Jenny and Jemima ye look like fuckin' colour popens the pair of ye!"
