As mentioned by someone earlier in the post, I would attempt to get the basking spot up to 100-105 F. Tape a thermometer right to the basking spot, facing the heat source, and adjust the lighting so that the temperature is stabilized in that range, then remove the thermometer. The animal will do the rest.
Humidity is somewhat important, but actual access to plenty of hydration is more important. The recommendation to go back to a dripper and lots of spraying is very good. In many indoor situations it is a necessary evil, but it is always advisable to over-water than to under-water, as if we know where to draw that line. A lot of the advice here has been good. Dark coloration, in the absence of another chameleon, is most often a sign of a chameleon that is seeking heat. There can be other reasons, but that one is at the top of the list, for reasons also stated in an earlier post. Good luck with all.
