Frogs however change their colour at their own will as their mood or surroundings change as well.
Basically, frogs have three types of pigmentation. One is the melanophore (brown pigment), iridophore (highly reflective pigment), and xanthophores (yellow pigment). When needed, frogs could put these pigments into use. They could produce a wide variety of shades from brown to grey, and of course, green. In rare species, strong iridophore produces red and blue just the same. These chromatophores are controlled by the frog's central nervous system and hormones
Frogs live in swamps, forests, and other places. These places are filled with the prey they need as food to live. More notably, these places are drowning in predators which need frogs as food to live.
There are some blessed ones as the blue Poison Arrow frog. The Poison Arrow need not blend in with its surrounding for its skin is covered with poisonous slime. Whatever touches the blue frog gets poisoned quickly enough for the naturally-gifted amphibian to escape its apparent end.
But since not all frogs are as blessed, they require a different approach of avoidance. Some frogs change their colour to blend in to their surroundings. Being virtually invisible makes them avoid their predator. Some frogs take their colour change to the next level.
Tropical colours like reds, Oranges and blues that are so bright they could be seen from afar, signal to predators that they shouldn't be eaten. Apparently, colours mark them as poisonous and inedible. So instead of avoiding predators through blending with the background, some frogs turn into reds or blues and oranges. That way, the predators no longer seek them, but avoid them.
colour change happens within a day. If it's hot in the middle of the day, frogs turn ivory white or bright yellow to ward off heat. But when the rain suddenly comes or when the cool breeze of the night arrives, frogs turn a darker shade of brown or gray.
At the end of the day, It's not leisure or mood swings or even hormones. It's all about one word: survival.
