If I had a time machine I'd find myself a brilliant geneticist who can find the gene in the octopus or cuttlefish that gives them such amazing control over their appearance. Then we'd travel back in time and splice it with early man. I'd have it tied in with our emotions as well.
Imagine, our thoughts and feelings literally written across our faces. A completely honest society because lying would be impossible.
Actually, maybe that's not such a good idea.
Don't think you could. Squid etc have a completely different skin stucture, made up of coloured cells that expand or contract depending on what colour it wants to be (expand the blue and red cells, contract the green ones and it turns purple). So not only woulld you have to change skin structure but also completely rewire the central nervous system to control it. Of course you'd also run the risk of ending up with sixteen arms.
And I see what you mean about thoughts and feelings written accross your face, I'd get beaten up in minutes!
