Several chameleon species are able to change different colours which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, yellow and turquoise. Recent research indicates that they do not typically change their colour for reasons of camouflage, but use colour changes as a method of communication, including to make themselves more attractive to potential mates.
