How do chromatophores work?
Chromatophores are, as you probably know, the different cells that cause color change in certain animals. Mostly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. They work by moving vesicles that contain pigments into different forms; contracting them and expanding them. They are sometimes in layers meaning that when one layer is contracted, another becomes visible. They can also form arrays where some light bounces off a chromatophore and some passes through, this bounces off another chromatophore and passes throught the first creating a new color. Chromatophores can be controlled either hormonally or phisiologically (muscles, nerve cells).
What elements are found in colored pigments?
