Is it true that Octopuses change colour using pigment-containing chromatophore organs in the skin that are controlled by muscles?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that octopuses and other cephalopods have pigment-containing chromatophore organs in the skin, each with a pigment cell and surrounding radial muscles that control colour change.
