A cephalopod’s skin is very colorful. This is due to the chromatophores, the color cells under their skin, which work together to produce many different patterns. Chromatophores are actually small sacks that, when the muscles around them contract, expand and show color. When the muscles relax, the sacs close, and the color fades. These cells allow the animals to produce many different patterns. Cephalopods can change color almost immediately, and help aid it in camouflage.
While providing cephalopods with beauty the cells also provide them protection against foes.
