How is it described in the story? Is this a magical ability, or a natural changing of skin colors & patterns? Does everyone have it at birth or is it something you can chose not to learn? Is it natural and instinctive or require thought to trigger?
Magical, Chose not to have it, Require thought, I lean towards a Magical
Talent.
Natural, Instinctual, everyone has it from birth, I lean towards an Ability
like an Uz's Darksense or a WindChild's Flight.

Probably not. Unless you want to cripple (or at least, make difficult for everyone in that culture), I'd say that it is as much a part of the magical nature of the culture/species as Seeing is to humans.
But go where the story takes you!
