They will turn dark and often sink in their eyes a bit.

There's a great podcast done by Bill Strand about chameleons and stress. I definitely recommend it if you have time to listen.

There are many different signs of stress but the most common I see from my veiled chams are:

Flattening out, showing their bright colours (aggressive)

Making themselves thin, elongated, and turning on their perch so that their body looks more like a branch
(Threatened)

if they are very scared (likely when first introducing them to a new home) they will often push themselves into a corner of the cage and turn dark. They are very stressed at this point, and if I see it, I'll cover the cage and give them a couple days before I try to do anything.
