they have pigmented cells - chromatophores - in their skin that can shrink or expand if the color is supposed to be hidden /seen. so the speed of the process is quick - like you getting goosebumps. like if i annoy my cham it turns striped or dark spotted, if he falls asleep it goes yellowish - these changes are mostly according to mood , not according to surrounding color. but yes, they adjust their color to surroundings (grey, green, many shades of green, brouwn), but not in a way that they would imitate it perfectly. some colours are not possible for them, either.
