How do Chameleons Change Colors?

Chameleons are familiar for their swift color-changing capability. It’s a common misperception that they do this to camouflage themselves against a background.
In fact, chameleons mostly change color to regulate their temperatures or to signal their intentions to other chameleons.

Normally, the pigments are locked away inside tiny sacs within the cells. But when a chameleon experiences changes in body temperature or mood, its nervous system tells specific chromatophores to expand or contract.

This changes the color of the cell. Chameleons come in many colors, such as pink, blue, orange, red, yellow, green and turquoise.

Chameleons are lizards that are part of the scientific family called Chamaeleonidae. In addition to the ability to change color, chameleons have many other characteristics that make them special, including parrot-like feet, eyes that can look in two different directions at once and long tongues and tails.
