The Science Behind Chameleons Deceiving You With Their Colors

All creatures must envy chameleons for their ability to pull off a wide array of colors beautifully. 

Contrary to popular belief, chameleons do not change their true colors to disguise themselves against a background.

They do this for two very specific reasons.

First, chameleons change their colors to regulate temperatures. The creatures aren’t able to generate their own body heat.

Changing color helps them maintain just the right body temperature.

For instance, a hot chameleon may change its color to pale in order to reflect the sun's heat, while a cold chameleon may turn dark in order to absorb more heat.

Second, chameleons may change their colors in order to signal their messages to their peers.

For instance, male chameleons make use of bright colors to portray their dominance. 

Additionally, female chameleons moderate their colors to let their male counterparts know when they wish to mate.
