When the chameleon gets , or anticipates danger , the iridophores expand contract to enable the crystals to reflect different levels of light , thereby its skin color . The researchers used a of microscopy , high - resolution videography and color - based numerical modeling arrive at this discovery . " When the skin is in the state , the nanocrystals in the iridophore cells are very close to each other ? , the cells specifically reflect short wavelengths , as blue , " Michel Milinkovitch , a professor of genetics and evolution at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and the lead author of the study , told Live Science . Milinkovitch further explained that , when excited , the nanocrystals spread apart to reflect longer wavelengths yellow , red and orange , which combine with blue to different hues .
