The special cells that control color on cephalopods (like the Woods Hole squid in this video) are called "chromatophores." The chromatophores of cephalopods are neuromuscular organs rather than cells and are not controlled hormonally, which is how many other animals change color. | Marine Biological Laboratory

Octopuses change color through specialized skin cells called chromatophores, iridophores, and leucophores. Chromatophores are pigment-containing cells that expand or contract using tiny muscles, revealing or hiding colors like yellow, red, brown, or black. Beneath these are iridophores, which reflect light and create iridescent blues and greens, and leucophores, which scatter light and help with background matching. The octopus’s nervous system directly controls these cells, allowing incredibly
