Chameleons change colour mainly by actively tuning the spacing of guanine nanocrystals in skin cells called iridophores.

Is it true that Chameleons change colour mainly by actively tuning the spacing of guanine nanocrystals in skin cells called iridophores?

Yes. Two peer-reviewed items (the same 2015 Nature Communications paper) report that chameleons shift colour through active tuning of a lattice of guanine nanocrystals within dermal iridophores, directly matching the claim.
