Over 150 species of chameleons exist, ranging from the size of your thumbnail to that of a house cat. Some species of chameleon (such as the tiger chameleon) are endangered, but others (like the Drakensberg dwarf chameleon) are not. No matter their differences, all chameleons have a prize pair of eyes. Their peepers can move in two different directions at once, giving the lizards a panoramic view of their surroundings. This eye-popping reptile really knows how to scale up the cool factor.

Chameleon
A chameleon sits motionlessly on a tree branch. Suddenly its sticky, two-foot-long tongue snaps out at 13 miles an hour, wrapping around a cricket and whipping the yummy snack back into the reptile’s mouth. Now that’s fast food dining! And the chameleon’s swift eating style is just one of its many features that’ll leave you tongue-tied.
Common Name : Meller’s Chameleon
Scientific Name : Trioceros melleri
Type : Reptiles
Diet : Carnivore
Average Life Span In The Wild : 12 years
Size : 21 inches
Weight : 14.4 ounces
COLORFUL CRITTERS
Chameleons mostly live in the rain forests and deserts of Africa. The color of their skin helps them blend in with their habitats. Chameleons that hang out in trees are usually green. Those that live in deserts are most often brown.
They often change color to warm up or cool down. (Turning darker helps warm the animals because the dark colors absorb more heat.) They also switch shades to communicate with other chameleons, using bright colors to attract potential mates or warn enemies.
So how exactly do chameleons change colors? The outer layer of their skin is see-through. Beneath that are layers of special cells filled with pigment—the substance that gives plants and animals (including you) color. To display a new color, the brain sends a message for these cells to get bigger or smaller. As this happens, pigments from different cells are released, and they mix with each other to create new skin tones. For instance, red and blue pigment may mix to make the chameleon look purple.

What colors can I blend to create violet?
Thanks for the replies about violet. tj84 — thanks for telling me about the “WC color mixer” — I didn’t know it was there, but I think I will find plenty of use for it. Sid — I have cobalt violet on the cart for my next order. Thanks. frazzled — Old Holland ($!!) Bright Violet also on my cart. Thank you. Gigalot — You mentioned Maimeri Classico Quinacridone Magenta — Well, this prompted me to check and I have a tube of the Maimeri Puro “Primary red – magenta.” I assume they are very similar to each other…? Thank you. Crystal1 — Thanks for the magenta + PBlue suggestion. Will give it a go!

Hello~~ Caveat: My response is for the OP as well as for someone coming along later on, searching for violet/purple info. I know the OP is looking for some answers right now for his current work, so recipes from others will help him most. In response to “if you purchase violets already formulated, which ones (color title and maker) do you prefer?” These paints are all single pigment! PV 42 Quinacridone Pink by Daniel Smith, actually a violet not a pink
PR 122 Quinacridone Magenta, preference for W&Newton
PR 259 Ultramarine Rose by Sennelier
PV 49 Cobalt Violet Light by Williamsburg
PV 15 Ultramarine Pink by Williamsburg
PV 14 Cobalt Violet Dark by W&N, no longer made. I’m still looking for a version that has that violet masstone with the magical blue undertone.
PV 55 Quinacridone Purple by Daniel Smith
PR 88 Thioindigo Violet by DaVinci
PV 19 Solid Madder Lake Rubine by Pebeo Fragonard, a color deeper than the “rose” of others made from PV19
PV 16 Permanent Mauve by W&Newton
PV 23 Dioxazine Violet by W&N; my sister swears by Sennelier, which is far more dense and intense
PV 15 Ultramarine Violet by W&N; again sister prefers dense intense Sennelier In response to “do you have a favorite recipe(s) that you use to mix your own violet(s)?”… Recently William F. Martin posted on a thread from Bellawolf about blacks that some wonderful things can come of mixing your magentas with tubed blacks: https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1306913&highlight=magenta+black Happy painting~!

I do use black for taking advantage of the hue shifts created when mixing black with primary colors, Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow. However, for the more obvious, more intense tertiary colors such as purple I find it much, much more advantageous to mix a secondary color such as Blue, for example, with its nearest, adjacent primary color–in the case of creating a purple, Magenta. Mixing a secondary color (Red, Green, or Blue) with its nearest adjacent primary color I find to be always superior to trying to achieve any, in-between color by mixing two secondary colors together. For example, mixing Red and Blue create a near-neutral black, only slightly biased toward “purple” or “violet”. I believe that someone actually has written an article, or a book, titled, “Blue and Red Don’t Always Make Purple”. No kidding! Well, in my book, mixing Blue and Red (TRUE Blue, and TRUE Red) would never be expected to make Purple. Mixing Blue and Green together won’t create much of a “blue-green” as may be expected–it is much more likely to create a near-neutral. And Mixing Red and Green (again, two secondary colors) will create a near-neutral, as many artists realize. Of course this is only true if a true, scientific, Red, Green, and Blue are mixed together. One cannot merely pick a tube that says, “Red”, “Green”, or “Blue” on its label, and automatically expect that it behave in a mix like true Red, Green, or Blue. But, to mix a “Violet” from two other colors, I would mix the secondary color, Blue (loosely represented by a form of French Ultramarine Blue (PV29), which truly isn’t “Blue”), with its nearest, adjacent primary color, Magenta, (rather well represented by W & N Permanent Rose 502 (PV19)). In my experience, it is always best to mix a secondary color with its nearest, adjacent primary color, to achieve “in-between colors”, such as “Violet”, and “Blue-Green”, rather than mixing two secondary colors together. The other, very practical alternative is to merely buy a tube of paint that comes as close as you can get to the color you wish. In the case of demanding a “Violet”, I’ve have very good experience with Grumbacher’s Dioxazine Purple. Then, I mix either Magenta (PV19) with it, or Fr. Ultramarine Blue with it to skew it either way–toward Magenta, or toward Blue. I do this when painting florals routinely. It seems to work well for me, and that is the method I’ve been employing for a long time.

Yes, Maimeri puro “Primary red – magenta” is even more pigmented colour than Classico. Try to mix it with your Blues to make perfect violets. Italian Quinacridones are yummy paints.
Magenta mixing with transparent Iron oxides are attractive too.

Love this elusive range of colors…I tend to use violets-purples in much of my work. I must have 20 different brands and versions looking for their magic from the tube. Best violet I have found…Rembrandt permanent red violet
Best purple….Rembrandt permanent blue violet However for the best blue violet…you have to tube your own mix. I have bought so many that were too red. It’s a subtle thing. Ultra blue deep is close but too blue. Ultramarine violet is generally too red. If you can afford it..cobalt violet deep is a great color…I tube my own..pretty close but not like the real thing. Lots of painters like dioxazine …but I find it too raw and way too strong for landscapes. And yes…you will get a great range of violet-purples from red blue mixes..depending which you choose of course.

Quinacridone Purple (PV55) is a GREAT color! As far as I know the only company that makes it in an oil paint is Daniel Smith. But their oils are pretty nice quality, so definitely try it.

As a portrait painter, my favorites are Caput Mortuum Violet and Permanent Violet Medium, both Rembrandt. CMV is opaque and PVM is semi-transparent. CMV is always on my palette (for flesh tones), whereas PVM is used infrequently (for clothing, flowers, etc).
