Protective Coloration
Camouflage: When an animal adapts to the surrounding environment and changes its coloration to match the environment.
Disruptive coloration (also known as disruptive camouflage or disruptive patterning) is a form of camouflage that works by breaking up the outlines of an animal, soldier or military vehicle with a strongly contrasting pattern. It is often combined with other methods of crypsis including background colour matching and countershading
Well, that depends. There are animals like the Skunk and the Octopus that have a special ability called "Protective Coloration" which enables them to change their colour depending on the background. There are also animals that blend with the surroundings naturally by their own colour. Examples are Tigers and the Bamboo Forest & the Arctic Rabbit and the Arctic region.
Killer whales, also known as orcas, have a distinctive black and white pattern that is a type of camouflage called "disruptive coloration". Disruptive coloration is where an animal's color pattern contradicts its body shape. This helps killer whales because in the flickering/filtered light under the sea, other animals may not recognize it as a potential predator.
When an animal's body resembles its environment, it is said to have camouflage.

Ah, darling, that's called camouflage. It's nature's way of playing hide and seek, but with a survival twist. So, next time you can't spot that sneaky chameleon or well-camouflaged moth, just remember, they're just blending in like the pros they are.
Protective coloration, also known as camouflage, is a defense mechanism used by animals to blend in with their environment in order to avoid detection by predators or prey. This adaptation helps animals to remain hidden and increase their chances of survival.
Well camouflage helps an animal blend into its environment, and it helps them not get eaten by their predators, and animals with camouflage are usually harder to find, for example the chameleon.
Camouflage is coloring and patterning that makes in object or animal blend in with its background. Some lizards and octopuses have the ability to actually change their coloring to match what they are lying on. Camouflage for a deer hunter might be mixed greens and browns. Camouflage for certain world war II ships were large patterns of black and white, which might have made their ships hard to see at a distance. Camouflage for the bottom of a rowboat might be white and blue patches, which might make the boat harder for fish to see.
