what color is a chameleon in the dark

What color is a chameleon in the dark?
When the lights are off
and the chameleon is alone
what color is she
If there is no light to bounce
and no prism to refract the light
what color is she in the dark
when she is alone
with no one to match
no need to blend
no need to be protected from predators
I wonder what color a chameleon is
when the lights are off
does she glow
with particular luminosity
or does she fade into the night
hiding like she must in the day
I can only wonder
I may never know
and that is alright

but I still wonder

what is the color

the a chameleon

when she is in the dark.
