It changes it color because of special cells called "chromatophores". These chromatophores contain sacks of color pigments.


Where is the pigment located?

Pigment is located in special cells called chromatophores found in various layers of the skin of animals, such as melanocytes in vertebrates and chromatophores in cephalopods. These cells contain pigments that are responsible for giving animals their coloration and patterns.

What causes the distinctive spots on a ladybug's shell?

The distinctive spots on a ladybug's shell are caused by pigments in their exoskeleton. These pigments are produced by special cells called chromatophores, which give the ladybug its unique coloration and patterns.


Why are some butterflies yellow?

It is the presence of the pigment melanin that is responsible for yellow coloring in butterflies (Lepidopteraorder).Specifically, the activation of melanin results in brown or yellow coloring in butterflies. Other colors are due to the predominant presence of other pigments. For example, anthocyanin is responsible for blue, purple or red. As is the case with plants, chlorophyll is responsible for green-colored butterflies.


Is the dispersal of the pigment in all of the chromatophores uniform?

No, the dispersal of pigment in chromatophores is not uniform. Different types of chromatophores, such as melanophores, erythrophores, and xanthophores, contain various pigments and can expand or contract in response to environmental stimuli or physiological changes. This selective dispersal allows for dynamic color changes in organisms, which can serve purposes like camouflage, communication, or temperature regulation.

How does a camileon change color?

Chameleons change their color through specialized cells called chromatophores. Within these cells, pigments move around in layers to result in a variety of colors.


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).
