you might have your chams backwards. Veileds can get very colorful, whereas jacksons are mostly green...

More commonly u see crazy bright color combinations with Panthers

This is my veiled when hes basking. That and a simple light/dark green stripe patterns and spots is all I ever see him at. And i agree with max, all the jacksons i've ever seen are usually just a solid green. Veileds are a lil more advanced in color schemes. A veiled's color mainly depends on sex; male are most of the time more colored, and on how well nourished they are. And of course the parents color schemes.

Sol gets very bright when out of his cage or when upset. They are beautiful chams!

The male veileds can get some pretty sweet colors. I've never been able to make up my mind which I like more between the yellow, orange, and turqouise variations. Jacksons for the most part are a plain green with maybe some darker brown or black.

Mt. Meru jacksons have some pretty color, correct me if I am wrong

 

[Zajlol]

When I had my veiled he would always be bright he never really turned dark

 

[Calypso]

Yeah, the Mt Merus are pretty sweet with their turqouise and green. I believe you're right, they're the most colorful jackson species. I saw one of the members post a pic of theirs the other day. Can't remember who or when, but it was a REALLY beautiful example.

So I have a baby female chameleon. Should I not expect her to have bright colors?

Female vieleds tend to be a beautiful vibrant leaf green with some whitish markings.There is a lot of individual variation. When they get upset or excited their color can just glow even more intensely. When they are developing a clutch of eggs they can change to a different green with bright blue and yellow spots. Again, how bright their colors are depends a lot on their health and their mood.

His "resting colors" are usually a dark brownish/greenish.. kinda like camouflage print colors. But when he is out of his cage... whether outside or on free range tree.. or in front of a mirror, he turns super bright! I say he loves to show off It doesn't even look like the same chameleon.
