Figure. Cut-away view of a cephalopod chromatophore. Drawing modified from Cloney and Florey, 1968.

Diameter of the sacculus expands up to about 7 times its retracted state which is equivalent to an increase in area of about 50 times.

The leucophore reflects whatever color of light illuminates it. There is no color discrimination and no effect on the color by the angle of illumination. Under white light the leucophores appear to be white. The leucophores, therefore, simply produce scattered reflection of ambient light.

iridophores  (short arrows) above the chromatophore (long arrow) 

Iridophores reflect and polarize light by layers of intracellular platelets that arepositioned parallel to each other. The spectrum (color) of the reflection can change from red/pink to blue and depends upon the distance between platelets, the orientation of the platelets, and the direction of viewing

COLORBLIND COLOR MATCHING

Visually mediated color matching cue:

Reflectance (Irradiance/Intensity) 

not reliable by itself so vision gets assists from:

Limited number of skin pigments 

Pigments adapted to have similar reflectance to substrates found in natural habitat

Leucophores and Iridophores reflecting ambient light

Decreased impact of wavelength with depth
