Chameleons don't change color to match their environment. Rather, they change color as a response to mood, temperature, health, communication, and light. As the seasons change, the Arctic fox changes the color of its coat. In the spring and summer, it has a dark coat to match the brown dirt in its environment. In fall and winter, it turns white to match the surrounding snow. Cuttlefish have the ability to change color too. It can generate a wide range of colors and interesting patterns. By perceiving the color of a backdrop and constricting the right combination of its chromatophores, the cuttlefish can blend in with all sorts of surroundings.

It depends. The ability to camouflage can mean an animal, like a fish, has the ability to change it's skin color and texture to match it's surroundings. Certain types of fish like porgys or hairy blennys and squid and octopus can instantly change color to match any backround they move to. In the case of an animal that always looks the same and cannot change it's color (like a moth whose wings are colored to match his 'natural' environment such as tree bark), would bcome vulnerable to predators if it were to land on the side of a white barn because it would be seen and therefore become easy prey for an insect eating bird.
There are a variety of animals with an aversion to artificial pigments, being associated in many circles with trying to gain an evolutionary advantage based on fraud.

They're one species of animal who for certain don't dye, for it was promptly banned by those with the most colorful tail feathers and in such haste that would seem out of this world by 110% of bureaucrats.
Do you mean albino cottontails? If you do, then yes - albinos are rare. Cotton tailed rabbits generally are a soft brown color, whereas some rabbits (like the snowshoe hare) do change their colors during the fall, changing white to match the snow.
It would then be called a lizard
