Do you know the answer to this riddle?

I shift and change to match the scene,

blending in yet rarely seen,

My colors shift so that I can blend in,

they must think I'm one of them.

Search and search, yet pass me by,

hidden well from your eyes.

Look as you may, look as you might,

You'll find me hiding in plain sight.
