Festive Dino Candy — Detailed Guide
Event candy that recolors a tame
Festive Dino Candy is one of the event candies found in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description is short: "Has a curious effect when consumed by a dinosaur." The ARK Wiki explains that effect on its shared 
Dino Candy page, which covers several event candies at once: force-feeding a candy to a tamed creature gives it a randomly picked color pattern for a limited time, and you are shown the exact colors it will apply.
How long the colors stay
A 
Spray Painter or Paint Brush with paint can still color over the candy pattern. When the effect ends, or when the creature goes into a 
Cryopod and is released again, its original colors return, and babies never inherit the candy colors. The wiki also notes that Dino Candy is removed from the game once its event is over.
Weight and stacking
Each candy weighs 0.1 and has a stack size of 1.
