Is it true that Chameleons change their skin color using specialized skin cells containing light-reflecting nanocrystals?

Yes. A peer-reviewed report states that panther chameleons alter their hue by tuning guanine nanocrystals within their skin, and other sources describe chameleon color change as driven by specialized light-reflecting skin cells and photonic crystal systems.
