In Geoff Mode, this could be
achieved using the patch vector. I've seen colour-cycling
guardians, and coloured Willy, so you could try merging the
two patch vectors to produce a colour-cycling
Willy.

blocks)?
Set the background colour attribute to FLASH 1
(there's a room near the start of The Time Hole like this
- black ink on black paper gives the illusion that
only Willy and the items are flashing, since they
inherit the background colour attribute but override the
ink colour).
