New Juvenile Veiled Cham looks very brown, and has been for about 5 hours.

My new male veiled chameleon has been looking brown all day, and all yesterday. I don't know whats wrong because his humidity and temp are great. Any ideas on what might be wrong? I'll attatch pictures in about an hour or so, because I have to leave my house and don't have time. He's just a tan-brown color with a little bit of gray. His urates are white and his poops are normal so I'm not sure what's wrong. He was perfectly green 2 nights ago, as this started last night.

I wouldn't be too stressed about a moment of dull colours. Post pictures anyway. From your previous identification thread he looks very healthy on the surface to me.

Those pictures were from a few nights ago before he turned brown. I’ll post a few more when I get home!

I also set up a video camera near his terrarium and he stayed brown for the whole time. He’s eaten and drank plenty today and everything seems perfect. since right when he woke up he’s been brown all day.

Problem Solved: came back home and Pico was a VERY light green!! Super happy! Maybe he was brown because I watched a video saying they do that to soak up extra sunlight? I’ve never heard that anywhere else but it may be true!

You’ve only had him for a few days right?
Typically they will be fussy from the environment for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks after being introduced to it.
My boy was brown off and on for weeks after we got him.
But, just like @chameleonneeds said, I wouldn’t worry too much about dull colors.
