To my knowledge, creationists agree that animals (and people), over time, adapt to their environments with regard to coloration. Am I wrong?

I'm not sure what you mean by this

"To my knowledge, creationists agree that animals (and people), over time, adapt to their environments with regard to coloration. Am I wrong?"

To my knowledge it may be true that crationists agree on that, but the idea itself is incorrect.

1.Eskimos are clearly darker than Icelanders. Pigmys living in dark forests are often darker than neighbors living in sunnier areas. 2. You may have meant to say species, rather than "people" or "animals" otherwise we'd be back to the old Russian Lysenkoism. Species adapt and evolve. Individuals don't.
