try raising her basking temp to 80. She might brighten up when its a little warmer.

how long have you had her? if shes new to her cage she may be throwing some neutral colors and wont let them come out until she feels like queen of her kingdom.

It would also help if you filled out the 'how to ask for help' form in the health section and paste it here. Just to make sure your Cham indeed will feel like a queen very soon!

try raising the temp like pssh said. they will turn darker colors when they are cold to absorb the heat.

when my chameleon was really dark one day, i got him a new bulb and immediatly he flooded with nice green colors.
