I've seen four variants: Copper with steel trim, steel with copper trim, silver with green/yellow trim, and gold with silver trim.

So far I've seen two colors for this: black and purple.

I can confirm that the red body/blue gem variant DOES exist. I had to buy 40 diamondshells off the AH before I got one.

Even worse, it doesn't appear to have four colors, it appears to have five, it's just that the green-yellow variant is very close to the teal-orange variant. One more extra pet to keep in my bank.

 

Edit: I've probably learned a dozen of the stupid things and have yet to get the green-yellow one, I'm not entirely convinced that wasn't the teal variant in odd lighting. I haven't found a single color changer either, they've all been a consistent color once learned.

Why in the world did they use the cat skeleton for the ferret when they have a perfectly good otter?

Interesting. I wonder if the bottlecaps are a reference to Pokemon Sun and Moon? Those introduced bottle caps as a rare currency you can use to upgrade your pokemons' stats. Given how many people jokingly (or not-so-jokingly) compare WoW pet battles to Pokemon, I would be surprised not to find any veiled references to the franchise.

The charms you have now wouldn't be a waste... you can still use them to rarify and level the new pets in Legion.

Reminder, folks, Blizzard can revoke your rated matches if you throw the fights. Fortunately, you can be terrible at pvp (like me) and still get Murkimus as long as you at least try to fight. Just remember, the pointy end goes in the other guy.
