Colors!

I plan to combine two different ideas to give a totally different perspective to colors and how we see them. First, the two things that will set out the idea.

We can see because there is light! Our eyes capture the light that reflects from the things around us and send some signals to the brain via the optic nerve. Once these signals reach brain, we can see. Click here to verify this yourself! (This definitely implies that we will not be able to see things that don't reflect light. But this is not my topic of discussion here!)

Everything in the universe is 'vibrating'. That means the atoms and sub-atomic particles in all the objects vibrate at certain frequency which is their natural frequency. (Sorry couldn't find the appropriate search terms so that I could give any reference here.)

Combining these two ideas, would it mean that the particles vibrate at a certain frequency to produce vision of a color. Is that how a chameleon changes his color? By changing the vibration frequency of his skin particles?
