First, its not just the father that contributes to the offspring - the female also contributes

A chameleon will not necessarily look just like its father, or like its mother's father/brothers. Each one is unique. And its not unusual for a nosy be to be shades of green/turquois along with spots of red etc. and they change as they age, usually getting more colour as time goes on. One year is not at the end of colour change yet. further, a cold chameleon can appear darker than a warm one, a stressed one different than a relaxed one, UVB lighting vs outdoors, diet, hydration - all of these influence as well.
