Hi guys,
Thanks for all the interest and differing opinions. It is invaluable.

The Chameleon will run off a web interface, which will run off XML or RSS, to get external feeds from external web sources. Within this web interface you will have pre-set colours. Or you will be able to set your own.
This opens up a world of possibilities, as everything is going this way with Web 2.0.

I haven’t yet written up a complete range of the colours, and how it will work. But it will have this sort of feature, it will also glow on start up, shut down, and flash if someone did want to commence a conversation.

Maybe subconsciously the colour changes may enhance emotions and maybe make people type things they normally wouldn't. Whether desirable or undesirable i find this is a most interesting part of your product.
So very true, This is something that i will need to do more research into. I haven’t undertaken a direct observation using an array of colours, in this situation yet. But i shall be, and even though I won't be able to get extensive tests, i do as well believe this link, and semantic emotion with colour will come in as a USP. (unique selling point)
thanks again, for all the opinion and advice. I will post my final presentation up once i have presented to the board. (May 2nd). Yeah, and my spelling is pretty bad. Too much time to fiddle around with it! so please forgive me!
