Spotting hidden chameleons
Tips
Chameleons match the colors and textures around them, so you will not spot them at a glance. Train yourself to look for something that seems almost right but not quite.
- Scan for outlines or edges that do not match the surface behind them.
- Check high spots, low spots, and tight corners — these are the most overlooked areas.
