That could likely change like fashions; demand has been known to be influenced by marketing hype.
I've never been one to follow a crowd or like what the 'cool kids' like.
Unless you're purchasing a chameleon that's 6 mo. or older, what colors it is (or can/will turn) is likely unpredictable.
By all means, get what you like, and if color is that important, get an older one. Just remember that you'll (hopefully) have him for a long while. I hope your preferences (and fashion) don't change.
I got mine at 3 months. For me, discovering what amazing colors appeared as he grew was—and still is—part of the wonder. He's over a year now, and still surprises me on occasion with different tints, shades, & hues.
In retrospect, there's something about a chameleon that displays
many colors over one that is primarily just one to three colors, but that's a matter of choice.
I think also worth noting is that many of the eye-popping colors seen in pictures (and from breeders) are when the chameleon is 'fired up' i.e. under a degree of stress. Normal unstressed coloration may not be as spectacular, and being under a constant state of stress probably isn't healthy for
any animal.
