jackson chameleon

why my male Jackson always turns dark color during day time?
His color supposed to be green with yellow strip. Only shows that when he is sleeping.
My female Jackson is fine. She always turns regular color.

I don't know why.
Anyone can help me.

PS:My male Jackson exo terra small tall size tank
50w heater
26w/5.0 x 2 UVB

How old us the male? The Viv is very small if he's older than 6 months, also a snall glass Viv won't allow for good air flow or a temp drop, without you putting down all the details of your enclosure and husbandry I would put it down to this

the seller told me that he is around 1 year.
The temp is 80f and humidity is 40-55%
I use live plants, coco soil . Mist 12sec every 4hours.
Feed 3 crickets per day . Eat well.

Humidity is quite low, that is very little misting aswell
Most people including me recommend no substrait on the base and that also seems to be a small amount to feed your Cham and you also need to give more variety
I recommend looking at the care section of the forum and reading all the advise on how to care for a jacksons
