Octopuses imitate color even though they are colorblind.
They distinguish between objects which are black and white from objects which are different shades of grey.
Distinguishing between different polarizations of light allows them to sense the slightest contrasts between different colors, so they can adjust the texture and color of their skin until they exactly match the shade they seek to blend in with, and become, seemingly,
invisible.
