Flash coloration is a type of warning signal that animals will signal when they feel threatened. (As opposed to constant warning colors.) The sudden flashes of bright colors can serve to intimidate, distract, or confuse predators. A ring neck snake, for example, may flash its bright orange belly when threatened, event though it normally seems black or brown colored.

Why do some frogs have camouflage skin while others have very bright colors that stand out?

The bright colours tend to be a warning that the frog is poisonous or has a nasty taste. Some frogs use the same warning colouration even though they are not poisonous or nasty tasting - they mimic the warning colouration. Other frogs rely on their drab colouration to camouflage themselves into the background.
