Hey Fate,
When it comes to Sambava Panther Chameleons there colors vary. As babies they are born almost completly orange in color. Panther chameleons have the widest variaty of color change than most chameleons. Let me know if you need any help with anything.
I have a link on my website that talks specifically about colorations of panther chameleons. If you are interested in learning more about panther colorations, differences between males and females, and differences in locales, you may take a look here: http://www.prismchameleons.com/AboutPantherChameleons.html
