It's normal. When chameleons are exposed to natural sunlight they will usually get darker colors so that their body absorbs the heat from the sun (or heat source). If they get a little too warm, they will turn a lighter color and look for shade. Do you have his normal cage warm enough? If he's constantly bright and light colors, he may need a slightly warmer spot in his cage and should go to and from this spot throughout the day.
