Chameleons change colors to blend in with their surroundings

I have been learning that chameleons have the ability to change colours so that they could blend in with the surroundings and protect themselves from the predators. For everyone who is with me, you are wrong ❌ just like me, as you must have guessed.

Yes, chameleons do have the ability to change colors, but the falsity here lies in why they do so. According to Wired, chameleons change colors to regulate their temperatures or communicate with other chameleons, not to camouflage themselves.
