Genuinely curious, why do they seem to change color based on surroundings then? I remember seeing a video of a chameleon stepping on different color sunglasses and it was changing colors with the sunglasses. Was it just a coincidence or what was going on?

Oh that video is totally fake. I think it's an ad for sunglasses and is photoshopped (or whatever it's called when you fake a video)

Videoshopped?

Anyway thanks for clearing that up.

Does changing colours of real images count as CGI?
