Transmission Vs. Reflectance: the Two Sides of the Dewlap Can Look Very Different

(Before It's News)

People pay a lot of attention to the color of a anole’s dewlap, but it’s often forgotten that the perceived color of the dewlap is not just a function of the light that reflects off of it, but also the light that at least sometimes shines through it!
