Piccolo debuted in the Super Hero arc with a new transformation under which we called him Orange Piccolo. Character Akira Toriyama's favoritebreaks everything in the most recent of the manga Dragon Ball Super.
Everyone knows the story of the transformation. Piccolo reaches this power after asking Shenlong to allow him access to all the power that he still has hidden.
He dragon of the spheres meets and Piccolo does the rest: he expels an impressive amount of power, and with his ki controlled, he transforms into a much more formidable fighter than he already was.

The images, which in the manga are usually in black and white, were revealed in color after the publication of the Super Hero arc volume, according to what colleagues from @DBSuperHDMX.
@DBSHype also adds images of what the character looks like in the manga, who is now capable of holding a fight against Vegeta, Goku or Gohan himself in Beast Mode.
What remained to be explained was the issue of color. Where does that orange come from? Who came up with the idea and what is the logic for changing Mr. Piccolo's skin?
The orange color is because Piccolo now has divine ki, which he can access thanks to Shenlong, which has orange tones on its body and on the spheres. So, that's why the Namekian's skin turns this way when he transforms.
The sensei also says that since there was no hair, like the Saiyans, there was no way to change its color. So, that's why he went to bat.
“Since he has no hair, he cannot be modified with the transformation, so I made him much more robust and gave him the color orange to better distinguish him from his original form. Despite this, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate it from its normal form. Maybe I should have exaggerated it more, but I personally love that he gained a power that can rival that of Goku and the others. The name Orange Piccolo is typical of him, because he does not have very good taste in naming names,” said Akira Toriyama, when asked about the subject, a little less than two years ago.
