In spite of working out he seems ill, somehow. Perhaps his color is a bit off.
 
In Just Leap In Salazar isn't blue - it confuses me, for some reason. Imagine if humans could do that changing thing that chameleons do - or better yet could change at will. I wonder where the mechanics for that chameleon thing lie. How can the skin know what it's near?
 
from http://www.reptileknowledge.com/

Contrary to popular belief, chameleons do not change their color to blend in with different backgrounds. Chameleons are naturally camouflaged with their surroundings (most are predominantly green to match their treetop environment).

The fact is that chameleons change their color in limited ways, usually by brightening or darkening their skin. But these color changes are related to temperature regulation and emotional changes. A frightened or angry chameleon, for example, will become extremely bright in color.
 
I turn purple with rage by the way.
 
That isn't what various sources including National Geograohic say.

"Some (but not all) chameleon species are able to change their skin colors. Different chameleon species are able to change different colors which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, yellow and turquoise.

Some varieties of chameleon - such as the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their color-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.

Color change is also used as an expression of the physiological condition of the lizard, and as a social indicator to other chameleons. Some research suggests that social signaling was the primary driving force behind the evolution of color change, and that camouflage evolved as a secondary concern."
 
I turn purple if I get embarrassed.

When I turn green I lose my lunch.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
