Summary: The group of alternating colored permutations is the natural analogue of the classical alternating group, inside the wreath product \(\mathbb Z_r\wr S_n\). We present a `Coxeter-like' presentation for this group and compute the length function with respect to that presentation. Then, we present this group as a covering of \(\mathbb Z_{\frac{r}{2}}\wr S_n\) and use this point of view to give another expression for the length function. We also use this covering to lift several known parameters of \(\mathbb Z_{\frac{r}{2}}\wr S_n\) to the group of alternating colored permutations.
