The physiological process or ability of certain animals to change the colour of their skin, feathers, or other integument rapidly and reversibly, typically for camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation.
Cephalopods such as octopuses rely on metachrosis to match the colour and texture of the seafloor almost instantaneously.
