I believe pigmy is the smallest. You might want to check out carpet chams to , they are small and very colorful

I belive Rampholeon Rihnodigitum beraduccii, Rampholeon Rihnodigitum uluguruensis and
Rieppeleon brachyrus is the smallest african leaf chamaeleon.

Brookesia tuberculata or Brookesia minima is the smallest known leaf chamaeleons and
one of the smallest animals with a vertebra known to man

tuberculata:

but they are rarly seen in captivity...

there is at least one locality of Rieppeleon brevicaudatus (that I have seen) that is about max 4,5 cm full length in adults
You could be lucky that your chamaleon "pusher" (breeder,importer,petstore and so on). have that locality

T. j. merumontanus (dwarf jacksons) is also a very small chameleon but not recommended as a beginner specie.
